Is it inevitable that Hurston's literary authority should eclipse her anthropological authority? If not, what sociocultural and institutional values and processes shape the different ways we read her work? Jennifer L. Freeman Marshall considers the polar receptions to two of Hurston's areas of achievement by examining the critical response to her work across both fields. Drawing on a wide range of readings, Freeman Marshall explores Hurston's popular appeal as iconography, her elevation into the literary canon, her concurrent marginalization in anthropology despite her significant contributions, and her place within constructions of Black feminist literary traditions. Perceptive and original, Ain't I an Anthropologist is a long-awaited reassessment of Zora Neale Hurston's place in American cultural and intellectual life"-- OP - 252 CN - PS3515.U789 Z6926 2023 SN - 0252054156 SN - 9780252054150 SN - 9780252044960 SN - 9780252087103 SN - 0252044967 SN - 0252087100 KW - Hurston, Zora Neale : Criticism and interpretation.
