Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person -- no mean feat for a black woman in the '30s. Janie's quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots.
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
为了拼命完成论文而读. 在知道plot的情况下, literary devices, puns, rhetorics都显现出来. 在当代1920-30 作为一个African American feminist大胆违背社会现实主义social realism 的左翼激进主义radicalism. 跨时代意义.
评分Racism:种族歧视可不仅限于别的种族,这可能是历史给这个种族留下的最大伤口。(“she think I’m too black for mah wife”) Love/relationship:I’m too old to believe in love, let’s stay as physical as we can Language: I’ll probably never learn proper English. Aside from that, to understand people (which is an impossible mission), learn the subtext of their language usage.
评分三星半。Vimeo上有audiobook,可以比较直观地听到黑人口音,或许比读文本中的transcription更容易些。写到了当年黑人群体对Booker T. Washington的看法:He was a white men's nigger.
