In the Root canals of Hortense Bowden, Alsana and Clara had the idea in their that a little education of English can be dangerous. Clara also went on to say that the English people are the kind of people who would teach and steal from people at the same time. I basically think the reason why they thought about English people that way is that, they remember their grandparents going through the same at the hands of the English people. for example, Clara's grandmother was impregnated by Captain Carlie Durham when he was renting a room for her mother. At the same time, he was educating her. so in this context, the English people can educate the colored women and at the same time use them sexually.
