Amazon.com ReviewAt the height of the Harlem Renaissance during the 1930s, Zora Neale Hurston was the preeminent black woman writer in the United States. She was a sometime-collaborator with Langston Hughes and a fierce rival of Richard Wright. Her stories appeared in major magazines, she consulted on Hollywood screenplays, and she penned four novels, an autobiography, countless essays, and two books on black mythology. Yet by the late 1950s, Hurston was living in obscurity, working as a maid in a Florida hotel. She died in 1960 in a Welfare home, was buried in an unmarked grave, and quickly faded from literary consciousness until 1975 when Alice Walker almost single-handedly revived interest in her work. Of Hurston's fiction, Their Eyes Were Watching God is arguably the best-known and perhaps the most controversial. The novel follows the fortunes of Janie Crawford, a woman living in the black town of Eaton, Florida. Hurston sets up her characters and her locale in the first chapter, which, along with the last, acts as a framing device for the story of Janie's life. Unlike Wright and Ralph Ellison, Hurston does not write explicitly about black people in the context of a white world--a fact that earned her scathing criticism from the social realists--but she doesn't ignore the impact of black-white relations either: It was the time for sitting on porches beside the road. It was the time to hear things and talk. These sitters had been tongueless, earless, eyeless conveniences all day long. Mules and other brutes had occupied their skins. But now, the sun and the bossman were gone, so the skins felt powerful and human. They became lords of sounds and lesser things. They passed nations through their mouths. They sat in judgment. One person the citizens of Eaton are inclined to judge is Janie Crawford, who has married three men and been tried for the murder of one of them. Janie feels no compulsion to justify herself to the town, but she does explain herself to her friend, Phoeby, with the implicit understanding that Phoeby can "tell 'em what Ah say if you wants to. Dat's just de same as me 'cause mah tongue is in mah friend's mouf." Hurston's use of dialect enraged other African American writers such as Wright, who accused her of pandering to white readers by giving them the black stereotypes they expected. Decades later, however, outrage has been replaced by admiration for her depictions of black life, and especially the lives of black women. In Their Eyes Were Watching God Zora Neale Hurston breathes humanity into both her men and women, and allows them to speak in their own voices. --Alix Wilber SparkNotes: Their Eyes Were Watching God From a general summary to chapter summaries to explanations of famous quotes the SparkNotes Their Eyes Were Watching God Study Guide has everything you need to ace Their Eyes Were Watching God (TV Movie 2005) - IMDb LATEST HEADLINES The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Young Sheldon Officially Ordered at CBS 15 hours ago; Sonys Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Sequel to Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston Their Eyes Were Watching God has 190832 ratings and 8601 reviews Jesse (JesseTheReader) said: I have mixed feelings on this book On one hand I loved Their Eyes Were Watching God Chapters 1-4 Summary and Their Eyes Were Watching God Questions and Answers The Question and Answer section for Their Eyes Were Watching God is a great resource to ask questions find Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston In Their Eyes Were Watching God Zora Neale Hurston draws a sharp portrait of a proud independent black woman looking for her own identity and resolving not to live Their Eyes Were Watching God - Wikipedia Their Eyes Were Watching God is a 1937 novel and the best known work by African-American writer Zora Neale Hurston The novel narrates main character Janie Crawford's Their Eyes Were Watching God Quotes from LitCharts The New!
