 | Their Eyes Were Watching God by Jerry Pinkney, Mary Helen Washington, Michele-Denise Woods, Ruby Dee, Sherley A. Williams
Zora Neale Hurston`s now-classic novel about Janie Crawford, the granddaughter of an ex-slave, and her three husbands: Mr. Killicks, Mayor Starks and, finally, Tea Cake--the love of her life. The novel is set in a black community in rural Florida, and the characters speak in dialect--a technique that inspired both anger and praise from other black writers. THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD, first published in 1937, is a landmark novel of the black experience in America and also--because of Janey`s stubborn insistence on her independence--of feminism. AUTHOR: Jerry Pinkney, Mary Helen Washington, Michele-Denise Woods, Ruby Dee, Sherley A. Williams
