Deborah Thomas: Diaspora at the Dawn of the 20th Century

Closing Keynote from the Conference Hurston@125: Engaging with the Work and Legacy of Zora Neale Hurston, recorded on October 28, 2016 at Barnard College.

Zora Neale Hurston, a graduate of Barnard College and Columbia University, has received great acclaim for her literary work, particularly the highly influential novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. In honor of the 125th anniversary of Hurston’s birth, BCRW celebrated Hurston’s legacy with a one-day symposium that brought together emerging scholars whose work builds upon Hurston’s less well-known training in anthropology and interdisciplinary modes of analysis and expression. The program included panel discussions and a film screening of Hurston’s ethnographic work.
