There’s a breadth and depth to Zora Neale Hurston’s writing that goes far beyond “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” Genevieve West, Chair of the Department of Language, Culture & Gender Studies at Texas Women’s University, joins guest host John McCaa to discuss her extensive compilation of Hurston’s work. It’s co-edited with Henry Louis Gates Jr., and features essays, criticism and articles of the Harlem Renaissance author. The book is called “You Don’t Know Us Negroes and Other Essays.”
