Zora Neale Hurston is a legendary writer, considered by many as a contributing pioneer to feminist thought and one who blended folklore of the black diaspora trans- nationally spanning the United States, Central America, and West Africa. With this literary work, each of the 10 chapters is crafted from a number of reputable contributing scholars. Each contributor brings a contextualized perspective and critical reflection on Hurston’s gendered literary work of Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), ranging from matters of character analyses to rearticulation of Voodoo metaphors in the context of black women.
