Zora Neale HurstonAuthor and AnthropologistSeries: Celebrating Black ArtistsBy Charlotte Etinde-Crompton and Samuel Willard Crompton DetailsDetails Like many artists before her, Zora Neale Hurston received virtually no recognition for her work until after her death. Hurston began her career as an anthropologist, observing and documenting the tension of race relations in the American South. She strove to expose the horrific practice of "paramour rights," wherein white men sexually exploited black women in their employment. But this work and her later fiction, including the now famous Their Eyes Were Watching God, would end up in relative obscurity as her fictional portrayal of African American dialect was criticized as offensive and her political views were often less progressive than those of her contemporaries. With engaging, accessible text, this biography gives readers a fuller picture of this complicated writer and woman.Publication Date: 07/15/2019Copyright: 2020Pages: 104Trim Size: 6 x 9Illustrations: Grade Level: 7–12Age Level: 12–17Dewey: 813/.52--dc23FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9781978503595$38.27$28.70Paperback Book9781978505346$20.95$17.85eBook9781978504165$38.27$28.70 Loading… Other books in Celebrating Black Artists 123 Loading… Loading… eBook: 9781978504165 List Price: $38.27 Discount Price: $28.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9781978503595 List Price: $38.27 Discount Price: $28.70 + Add to wish list Paperback Book: 9781978505346 List Price: $20.95 Discount Price: $17.85 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
