Description
This book explores the creativity and life of Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), the most published African American woman writer of the first half of the twentieth century.
Her life spanned a period of rapid technological change and advancement, alongside enduring racial stratification. A Barnard-educated anthropologist, folklorist, and novelist, Hurston was a modern woman on the move. As Cheryl R. Hopson illustrates, this dynamic movement is reflected in her work as a collector of folklore.
Hopson also highlights how the Jim Crow legal system in the United States created the material backdrop for Hurston's life and works. The discussion includes Hurston's signature novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, as well as her lesser-known works. This biography offers an insightful and illuminating look at a remarkable figure, chronicling the rediscovery of Hurston years after her death.
