Cultural Hegemony and Resistance as Depicted in Zora Neale Hurston’s Colour Struck

Abstract

Abstract Cultural Hegemony though a term from Marxist philosophy certainly goes beyond the much explored field of Marxism into the submerged realm of human psychology. Centuries, decades and years of multicultural influences often lead to cultural assimilation. However, as per Carl Jung’s theory Collective unconscious is always present to guide an individual’s way for cultural resistance. The present paper explores the same in the play Colour Struck written by American Novelist Zora Neale Hurston who is best known for her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God.
