The Fairy Tellers#87 Zora Neale Hurston, AnthropologistKatrina and Geoff talk Zora Neale Hurston, ethnography, and why women rule over men! In this episode, we discuss some of the amazing work to preserve African American folklore in the South done by the incredible Zora Neale Hurston. We compare two tales that are almost identical when Zora Neale Hurston collected them but differ slightly between the genders. Through these stories we also get to discuss how much richer books from Zora Neale Hurston (such as "Mules and Men") are because she included the context about the setting and conversations that take place around the telling of tales.

One of the greatest Black writers of America's history (in our opinion!), Zora's books put Black women at the center of her stories, writing and depicting Black (especially Southern) Americans' stories when no one else did. Zora might have remained unknown forever if not for Alice Walker, who after discovering Zora's writings shined a spotlight for all to see the brilliant storyteller: Zora Neale Hurston.
