"Sisters Under the Skin": Race and Gender in Zora Neale Hurston's "Tell My Horse."
Meisenhelder, Susan
Western Journal of Black Studies, v19 n3 p181-88 Fall 1995
No work by Zora Neale Hurston has received harsher critical evaluation than her anthropological study of Haiti and Jamaica, "Tell My Horse." Although her aim in part was to write a commercially successful popular book, she also aimed, with some success, to offer significant social commentary. (SLD)
