A review by jainabee
The Sanctified Church by Zora Neale Hurston

4.0

It's difficult for a modern person to appreciate the true genius of ZNH's work, nearly a century after she began her anthropological magic. It's easy to take for granted, or even be "over" the colloquial speech patterns written phonetically, the spotlights on obscure-but-fascinating folks. It's easy to forget she was an academic, and these are her reports.

Reading this made me crave more. Thankfully, more is available.
