Essay from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: In this paper, Zora Neale Hurston¿s novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is examined to demonstrate how storytelling and the blues, as aspects of diasporic survival, function in her fiction which depicts how African cultural heritage operates in the United States.
