First published: 2002
Description: "Anthropologist and author Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) is one of the most significant African American writers of the 20th century. Born in Alabama, she grew up in a small town in Florida, where she developed an interest in African American folklore. In 1925, she moved to New York and became a part of the Harlem Renaissance. She continued her anthropological research; African American folklore is central to her fiction.".

"This reference is a guide to her life and writings. A chronology outlines the major events in her life and significant accomplishments, while a short biography offers a narrative assessment of her career." "Entries for the most important topics include suggestions for further reading, and the volume closes with extensive primary and secondary bibliographies."--BOOK JACKET.
