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

評分去年暑假讀的,讀的很粗,因為slang太多,有點disturbing 內容很好
評分裏麵的對話全是黑人俚語發音寫齣來的樣子,剛剛開始看有點吃力。。但這本書內容寫的也就那樣吧
評分三星半。Vimeo上有audiobook,可以比較直觀地聽到黑人口音,或許比讀文本中的transcription更容易些。寫到瞭當年黑人群體對Booker T. Washington的看法:He was a white men's nigger.
黑人文学老师要求读的,班里统一复印的老师的原版。不明白书名的用意。书里只一处写到了Their eyes were watching god ,在chapter 18 "They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching god" 这是在他们逃离飓风时的一段。其实全书主要写了主人公Jaine ...
