The essay collection in Black American literature has been a source of intellectual assertion of an array of thoughts and commentary on culture, existential examination and perception and different forms of expression: creative nonfiction, journalism and personal essays. Collections are also opportunities for editors to compile and curate the work of influential writers, oftentimes, posthumously.
You Don’t Know Us Negroes and Other Essays by Zora Neale Hurston, Introduction and Edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. “You Don’t Know Us Negroes” is the highly anticipated new book of essays from the deeply profound Black writer, Zora Neale Hurston. The carefully crafted assortment of essays, gathered by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Genevieve West, span over 30 years from the beginning of the Harlem Renaissance to educational integration. Hurston’s work “articulates the beauty and authenticity of Black life as only she could.
It is nothing less than reassuring that the continuation of the exploration of these writers is actively creating new works for the world to discover. We mustn’t take for granted the consistent mining of writing from writers like Crouch and Hurston. Their work preserves the integrity of Black literature and is likely to inspire a new generation of Black writers, authors and cultural critics.
