 | | She was married to John Indian and is, therefore, referred to as Tituba Indian. | | | There is a fair deal of evidence in the first chapter alone as to Tituba's origins, and not one mention of her being even remotely 'Indian'. | | | The charge has barely disguised racial undertones and is based on the imagination of authors like Starkey, who eerily mirrors Salem’s accusers when she asserts that “I have invented the scenes with Tituba.... |

| | At her mother’s death, Tituba must leave the plantation and is taken in by Mama Yaya, a spiritual healer and medicine woman both feared and admired for her mystical abilities. | | | Because Condé emphasizes Tituba’s spiritual growth as an integral part of her journey, I devote a considerable amount of class time to this aspect of Tituba’s quest. | | | But, perhaps, my most important criteria in the selection of readings was to choose texts that would not only introduce students to other cultures and ways of seeing but works that would inspire them to question their own culture and society. |
