Explain the conflict between the narrator and her grandmother in To Da-Duh in Memoriam.

The main conflict between Da-duh and her granddaughter is generational.  Da-duh represents tradition and life as it used to be in Barbados.  The granddaughter, however, lives in the modern city of New York City and knows very little about her roots.  Da-duh and the granddaughter banter back and forth about the attributes of both places.  Barbados has beautiful palm trees, and New York City has tall, beautiful skyscrapers.  Da-duh and her granddaughter are two opposites representing the old and the new in their family, and that is where the conflict begins.  Da-duh tries desperately to teach the narrator about her past and the sugar cane fields that surround her home. And, the granddaughter does the same telling Da-duh about how a black girl at her school hit a white girl. Da-duh is in disbelief at some of things she learns from her granddaughter, and it is only when the granddaughter becomes an adult that she understands the beauty of Barbados that Da-duh showed her. 

The conflict between the two was not in anger or disrespect but simply a clash in culture and generations.
