Zora Neale Hurston (7 gennaio 1891-28 gennaio 1960) è stata un'autrice, antropologa e regista americana. Ha interpretato le lotte razziali nel sud americano dei primi anni del 1900 e ha pubblicato ricerche su hoodoo. Il più popolare dei suoi quattro romanzi è I loro occhi stavano guardando Dio, pubblicato nel 1937. Ha anche scritto più di 50 racconti, opere teatrali e saggi.
Hurston è nata a Notasulga, in Alabama, e si è trasferita con la sua famiglia a Eatonville, in Florida, nel 1894. In seguito ha usato Eatonville come ambientazione per molte delle sue storie. All'inizio della sua carriera, Hurston ha condotto ricerche antropologiche ed etnografiche mentre era studentessa al Barnard College e alla Columbia University. Si interessava al folklore afroamericano e caraibico e al modo in cui questi contribuivano all'identità della comunità.
Ha anche scritto romanzi su questioni contemporanee nella comunità nera ed è diventata una figura centrale del Rinascimento di Harlem. Le sue brevi satire, attingendo dall'esperienza afroamericana e dalla divisione razziale, sono state pubblicate in antologie come The New Negro e Fire!! Dopo essere tornata in Florida, Hurston scrisse e pubblicò la sua antologia letteraria sul folklore afroamericano nel nord della Florida, Mules and Men (1935) e i suoi primi tre romanzi: Jonah's Gourd Vine (1934); I loro occhi stavano guardando Dio (1937); e Moses, Man of the Mountain (1939). In questo periodo è stato anche pubblicato Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica (1938), che documenta la sua ricerca sui rituali in Giamaica e Haiti.

Descrizione di Il libro

You Don't Know Us Negroes and Other Essays pdf da Zora Neale Hurston

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FROM: Oprah Daily, Business Insider, Marie Claire, The Seattle Times, Lit Hub, Bustle, and New York Magazine's Vulture
Introduction by New York Times bestselling author Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Spanning 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 archivist and author.
"One of the greatest writers of our time."--Toni Morrison
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.
