Hurston

Zola Neil Hirston was the daughter of a Baptist missionary born in Alabama on January 7, 1891, only 26 years after the abolition of slavery. When she was 3 years old, her father transferred her family to Eatonville, Florida. Eatonville is the first black community in America, where Zora holds black Utopia. Zola received education and in 1928 acquired Colombian University Anthropology (Zola). Her father was Mayor of Etonville, and she had many opportunities that other blacks did not have, but that it was a black city May the daughter of a black mayor facilitated her It did not mean.

Descriptions of Heston's family life are introduced. Heston's father moved from Alabama to Florida where it became the mayor of the first black city in Eatonville, Florida. The explanation about Herston 's parents' courtship is very interesting. Heston 's father was a pastor of Baptist, writing notes in hymns and stopping Heston' s mother by flirting. Just as Heston replied ironically, her mother said, "I got married just to get rid of her father.Even surprisingly, even the poor black in the South, the difference between the" pick-up order "and the class Yes. It is blood of mixed blood and is thought to be an illegal child.

Heston is very smart and popular with adults. Her father was a successful pastor and became a mayor. When Heston was 9 years old, her mother died. Herston's father soon remarried after her mother's death, and Heston did not like her new stepmother. Then Heston was sent to relatives by relatives until she found her maid job. She has been a maid for many years and moved from place to place, which is a very short time. She barely said this in autobiography. The age at which she began working as a maid is not clear. She only called her "Miss M". And I advocate her idea of ​​being under 16 years old. (Yates 1991: 41) This is important. Most of her traditional education years have been spent as a maid. But this gave her another kind of education, education which can only be learned through life. Maybe this will make her feel comfortable and hence travel for her ethnographic magazine and research
