- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2014
- We all know and love Zora Neale Hurston as one of the great 20th-century writers. But she was not just a literary star. Trained as an anthropologist, she did pioneering fieldwork in the American South and the Caribbean. These travels became the foundation for her rich storytelling. Rutgers University English professor Cheryl Wall discusses Hurston’s unique blend of ethnography and literature.

Powerful beyond ways. Zora Neale Hurston's novels and philosophy are timeless and enduring. My copy of her books are precious, not be loaned out!
This is wonderful.
Zora's spirit lives on!
"She liked to call herself a literary anthropologist... Her field work in Jamaica and Haiti.... Got on the train. / Didn't have no fare. / But I rode some... She is determined to follow the journey to the horizon.."
Yebo-o-o! AWEsome, great presentation and clarity of her movement and activities and the people she met along the way whom influenced her.
I learned so much during this lesson

It would have been wonderful if she could have also moved around the Antillees and into some of the 'softer' islands. And, wow, if she has also made it to Trini!
