内容简介 · · · · · ·
Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person -- no mean feat for a black woman in the '30s. Janie's quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots.

Zora Neale Hurston was an American folklorist and author. In 1925, shortly before entering Barnard College, Hurston became one of the leaders of the literary renaissance happening in Harlem, producing the short-lived literary magazine Fire!! along with Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurman. This literary movement became the center of the Harlem Renaissance.
Hurston applied her Barnard ethnographic training to document African American folklore in her critically acclaimed book Mules and Men along with fiction Their Eyes Were Watching God and dance, assembling a folk-based performance group that recreated her Southern tableau, with one performance on Broadway.
Hurston was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to travel to Haiti and conduct research on conjure in 1937. Her work was significant because she was able to break into the secret societies and expose their use of drugs to create the Vodun trance, also a subject of study for fellow dancer/anthropologist Katherine Dunham who was then at the University of Chicago.
In 1954 Hurston was unable to sell her fiction but was assigned by the Pittsburgh Courier to cover the small-town murder trial of Ruby McCollum, the prosperous black wife of the local lottery racketeer, who had killed a racist white doctor.
Hurston also contributed to Woman in the Suwanee County Jail, a book by journalist and civil rights advocate William Bradford Huie

当代黑人女性文学的先行者——佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿
她应该满足于男人给予的生活吗?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
原本我以为,这会是一本描写黑人苦难、悲剧与压迫的小说,后来发现,它不是。相反,整本书的基调是轻快的,并没有直接着眼于控诉与诘问,而是更多站在女性视角,来呈现到底什么样的生活才是女人真正想要的生活。 书的主角是一个黑人女性珍妮,在她的生命中,出现了三个男人,这... (展开)《他们眼望上苍》:我们脑子里的黑人是一条线
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
非洲本土作家的作品此地引进得少?抑或是我的阅读视野不够宽阔?以黑人为主要角色的小说,我读过的几乎都是美国白人作家的作品,他们的关注多半是美国黑奴,从早年的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》到新近的《为奴十二年》,未曾开言先就确立的主题:为美国黑人的悲惨命运掬一捧同情之泪。 ... (展开)惊叹于优美的文笔与心之旅途 —— 天才的黑人作家佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿

严格说我不是读了这本书,而是看了2005根据小说拍的同名电影。 这部电影讲的是奇女子简妮的感情经历。她是一个充满活力的美丽女子,对爱情自始至终寄予很高的期望。她的三段婚姻代表着爱情从外围接近其核心的三类情形。首先是物质婚姻,年龄差距大接受长辈安排的婚姻,没有爱情... (展开)> 更多书评 20篇

有一本课堂阅读。一开始总在批判所有角色,直到接近末尾才开始正视爱和上帝和Janie。“God made it so you spent yo’ ole age first wife somebody else, and saved up yo’ young girl days to spend wid me” / “Love is lak de sea.

会觉得每个重要转折间都太突然了 folks间大段大段的对话又难看懂又没有意义 不过每个人物都好自然 没有特别多刻意突出种族性别stereotype的地方
