This review is from: Zora neale Hurston: Critical Perspectives Past And Present (Amistad Literary Series) (Paperback)
Anyone doing critical literary study of Zora Neal Hurston and her writing will find this book a must read. And just plain fans of her work, who happen to have a scholarly nature, will likely find something of interest here as well, if it be only the reprints of various reviews of Hurston's books from the time of their original publication in the 1930s and 1940s. After the 34 pages of book reviews, at the heart of the book are 14 critical essays on Hurston's work from 14 different scholars. Also includes a brief chronology of Hurston's life, a bibliography, and an index. All in all, a lot of perspectives and commentary and scholarship all brought together in a compact volume that would be especially useful for scholars studying American literature, Black Studies, or Women's Studies.
