Krátky popis
'One of the greatest writers of our time.' Toni Morrison'You Don't
Know Us Negroes adds immeasurably to our understanding of Hurston
... her words make it impossible for readers to consider her
anything but one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century.'
The New York Times Book ReviewIntroduction by New York Times
bestselling author Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Genevieve WestSpanning
more than 35 years of work, the first comprehensive collection of
essays, criticism, and articles by the legendary author of the
Harlem Renaissance, Zora Neale Hurston, showcasing the evolution of
her distinctive style as an author.You Don't Know Us Negroes is the
quintessential gathering of provocative essays from one of the
world's most celebrated writers, Zora Neale Hurston.Spanning more
than three decades and penned during the backdrop of the birth of
the Harlem Renaissance, Montgomery bus boycott, desegregation of
the military, and school integration, Hurston's writing articulates
the beauty and authenticity of Black life as only she
could.Collectively, these essays showcase the roles enslavement and
Jim Crow have played in intensifying Black people's inner lives and
culture rather than destroying it. She argues that in the process
of surviving, Black people re-interpreted every aspect of American
culture-",modif[ying] the language, mode of food preparation,
practice of medicine, and most certainly religion.", White
supremacy prevents the world from seeing or completely recognizing
Black people in their full humanity and Hurston made it her job to
lift the veil and reveal the heart and soul of the race. These
pages reflect Hurston as the controversial figure she was - someone
who stated that feminism is a mirage and that the integration of
schools did not necessarily improve the education of Black
students.Also covered is the sensational trial of Ruby McCollum, a
wealthy Black woman convicted in 1952 for killing her lover, a
white doctor.Demonstrating the breadth of this revered and
influential writer's work, You Don't Know Us Negroes and Other
Essays is an invaluable chronicle of a writer's development and a
window into her world and mind.
