American Literature
Zora Neale Hurston was an American writer, anthropologist, folklorist, and documentary filmmaker who portrayed racial struggles in the early twentieth-century American South and published research on Hoodoo and Caribbean Vodou. The most popular of her four novels is Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), and she also wrote more than fifty short stories, plays, an autobiography, ethnographies, and many essays, becoming a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Her novels went largely unrecognized by the literary world for decades, but interest in her work was revived in 1975 after author Alice Walker published the article In Search of Zora Neale Hurston, and further manuscripts, including Barracoon (2018), have been published posthumously.
