Zora Neale Hurston was an American folklorist and author. In 1925, shortly before entering Barnard College, Hurston became one of the leaders of the literary renaissance happening in Harlem, producing the short-lived literary magazine Fire!! along with Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurman. This literary movement became the center of the Harlem Renaissance.
Hurston applied her Barnard ethnographic training to document African American folklore in her critically acclaimed book Mules and Men along with fiction Their Eyes Were Watching God and dance, assembling a folk-based performance group that recreated her Southern tableau, with one performance on Broadway.
Hurston was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to travel to Haiti and conduct research on conjure in 1937. Her work was significant because she was able to break into the secret societies and expose their use of drugs to create the Vodun trance, also a subject of study for fellow dancer/anthropologist Katherine Dunham who was then at the University of Chicago.
In 1954 Hurston was unable to sell her fiction but was assigned by the Pittsburgh Courier to cover the small-town murder trial of Ruby McCollum, the prosperous black wife of the local lottery racketeer, who had killed a racist white doctor.
Hurston also contributed to Woman in the Suwanee County Jail, a book by journalist and civil rights advocate William Bradford Huie

周二二限教授推荐我们阅读的《Their Eyes Were Watching God》，当天找来汉译本读了，并且一口气读完了，有太多杂乱的思绪。 批判家从里面看见了黑人与白人的对比，并且对作者对种族歧视的描写并不到位而感到不满。但是实际上作者(赫斯顿)描绘的更远远多于种族歧视。 除了黑人... (展开)

It Takes a Revolution to Make a Solution: The Transformation of Janie Through Tea Cake
Their Eyes Were Watching God perfectly combines folklore and literature in the theme of Black and female empowerment. The folklore elements were so well immersed that they could easily go unnoticed. According to Claire Crabtree, there are four major aspects... (展开)

相比源于黑人的悲剧更是有现实中的爱情悲剧
