520 1 $a"Various critics have concluded that Zora Neale Hurston simply capitulated to external demands, writing stories white people wanted to hear. Susan Edwards Meisenhelder, however, argues that Hurston's response to her situation was much more sophisticated than her critics have recognized. Meisenhelder suggests, in fact, that Hurston's work, both fictional and anthropological, constitutes an extended critique of the values of white culture and a rejection of white models for black people.
520 8 $aRepeatedly, Hurston's work shows the divisive effects that traditional white values, including class divisions and gender imbalances, have on blacks."--BOOK JACKET.
