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

黑人女作家佐拉笔下的女主角珍妮一直在寻觅自己的爱情,不由让我想起之前很喜欢的一部作品《被嫌弃的松子的一生》,同样是一个女人追逐爱,与男人纠葛、寻爱不得的一生,《他们眼望上苍》因其时代背景和种族歧视的刻画,比之《松子》中的性格悲剧要来得更深刻。 第一个男人洛根...
評分美国这个思想自由国度历来不缺乏描写黑人的文学作品,十九世纪斯托夫人的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》吹响了废除黑奴的号角,问世后一版再版,深受好评。林肯总统在接见斯托夫人时幽默风趣地称赞她是“写了一本书,酿成了一场大战的小妇人。”二十世纪有马克•吐温的《哈克贝利•费...
