Chapters 14-15 how would you describe the cultural context of these chapters

In this chapter, Janie must defend black culture, interestingly, to another black woman. Mrs. Turner is a weak, ugly woman who takes pride only in her white characteristics and has distaste for her black characteristics. Turner ridicules blacks for laughing too much, for "whooping and hollering," for wearing bright colors, and for being poor. But Janie defends her black culture through her lifestyle choice. She marries Tea Cake and comes to the Muck to work and live and learn. Unlike her contemporaries who wrote about black rights in "white prose," Hurston supports the language and life of her people by writing in their dialect.
