What values does the community uphold in “Spunk”?

hello!!

Through the sounds and speech of this rural populace, the prose possesses a remarkable oral quality. Interestingly, "Spunk" makes no reference to whites, a deliberate and meaningful omission given the story's Southern setting. It thus represents a "private community," one not exclusively responsive to white oppression. Throughout this humorous, entertaining piece, Hurston reveals an independent black community governed by its own traditions, lore, and superstitions.
