Abstract "The first extended examination into the influence of Zora Neale Hurston's work on major black women writers, it explores Hurston's impact on Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, bell hooks, Rita Dove, and Tracy K. Smith, Ntozake Shange and Lorraine Hansberry. Through philosophical conceptions of desire, and zoning in on Hurston's Their Eyes were Watching God, it unlocks crucial conceptual and analytic trajectories regarding debates on freedom, personhood and Black feminism and how such rich interiority appears in key works by Black women"-- Provided by publisher.
