Zora Neale Hurston wrote fiction, folklore and anthropology about Black life in the American South and Caribbean, with particular attention to speech, community and women's independence. Their Eyes Were Watching God follows Janie Crawford through three marriages and her search for a life defined on her own terms, using richly rendered Black Southern vernacular in dialogue and narration. Mules and Men collects folklore from African American communities in Florida and material from Hoodoo traditions in New Orleans, while Dust Tracks on a Road is autobiographical. Hurston's work is lively, voice-driven and closely rooted in oral storytelling. It fits Harlem Renaissance literature, African American classics, Southern fiction and folklore studies. Read more Less
