Hurston the Folklorist/Anthropologist
Barracoon Mentions in Our Blog
June 19 marks the day in 1865 when Union Troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, the last stop on their tour to liberate enslaved persons in the US—a day of hope. But the history, both before and after this day, has been fraught. Here we present a reading list for a range of ages shedding light on this complex subject.
This week we celebrate the birthday of writer and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston. Largely unappreciated in her lifetime, the trailblazing author's writings saw a resurgence after Alice Walker's 1975 essay called her "the patron saint of black women writers." Here we review five of her essential titles.
