You Don't Know Us Negroes and Other Essays

Zora Neale Hurston's "You Don't Know Us Negroes" is a comprehensive collection of essays, criticism, and articles that showcase the evolution of her distinctive style as an archivist and author over three decades.

This quintessential gathering of provocative essays articulates the beauty and authenticity of Black life during the birth of the Harlem Renaissance, Montgomery bus boycott, desegregation of the military, and school integration.

Hurston's writing highlights the roles enslavement and Jim Crow have played in intensifying Black people's inner lives and culture rather than destroying it, and how they re-interpreted every aspect of American culture.

This product is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the heart and soul of the race, as well as Hurston's controversial views on feminism and education.
