Abstract:
Zora Neale Hurston’s Moses, Man of the Mountain (1939) stands in the tradition of African American use of the biblical musings that aims to relativize and yet uphold a new version of the sacred story under the gaze of a black woman that manipulates and admonishes the characters of the gospel to offer a feminist side of the Bible. The novel discloses Hurston’s mastering of the aesthetics that black folklore infused to the African American cultural experience and her accommodation to bring to the fore the needed voice of black women. Rejecting the role of religion as a reductive mode of social protest, the novel extends its jeremiadic ethos and evolves into a black feminist manifesto in which a world without women equates disruption and instability. Hurston showcases the importance of an inclusive and ethic sacred femininity to reclaim a new type of womanhood both socially and aesthetically. Three decades before the post-colonial era, Hurston’s bold representation of the sacred femininity recasts the jeremiad tradition to pin down notions of humanitarianism, social justice and the recognition of politics of art. All in all, in an era of a manly social protest literature Hurston opts for portraying the folkloric aesthetics of spirituality as creative agency simply to acknowledge the leadership of the sacred femininity that black women could remodel into art.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on High John the Conquer root, the most powerful and best-known root in Hoodoo practice. It asks how a root that is native only to Xalapa, Mexico, became so significant to African American Hoodoo practice, particularly in places like Virginia or other locales thousands of miles away, and how it was accessed by bondsmen and later freedmen. Zora Neale Hurston describes High John the Conquer as “our hope bringer,” an intermediary between man and God, a warrior martyr, a soul saver, and a virtual saint of the old Hoodoo religion. High John is used in numerous types of Hoodoo work and has been the most utilized Hoodoo root. This chapter discusses the possible sociocultural origins and movement of High John the Conquer root and its representative plant. It also examines the myth and legacy of High John de Conquer as well as the importance of the root in the Hoodoo pharmacopeia.

Abstract:
Through Moses, Zora Neale Hurston alludes to another figure seeking to lead his recalcitrant people to the Promised Land—Alain Locke. Like Locke, Hurston’s Moses is a cultural-nationalist, values self-reliance, and levels authoritative judgments. The benefit of reading Moses, Man of the Mountain(1939) in the context of Locke’s criticism of Hurston’s work is that it allows us to see how Hurston is engaged not only in critiquing authoritarian politics, but also in interrogating the politics of aesthetic uplift. Mosesstands as an alternative model to Locke’s conception of how to incorporate folk culture into fiction. Hurston rejects the authoritarian strand of Locke’s cultural politics by valuing folk culture on its own terms, rather than treating it as a mere source of inspiration for true art. Hurston participates in what she perceives to be an ongoing oral and literary tradition, instead of seeking to transform folk culture into something more palatable for highbrow audiences.

Abstract:
In Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and The Living Is Easy (1948), Zora Neale Hurston and Dorothy West use the backdrop of agribusiness and fruit imports respectively to dramatize the precarity of black bodies within global capitalism. Their novels feature black male characters who have come to believe in the opportunities the food industry extends them, only to be sorely disappointed and in some cases utterly destroyed. In this way, Hurston and West suggest the racist limits of the category of Man. At the same time that they debunk this ideal subject, Hurston and West use figurative language to connect black bodies with animals and fruit. As scholars of critical race studies have shown, animacy hierarchies, the ranking of bodies according to their relative liveness, frequently subtend pejorative forms of racialization. Instead, Hurston and West overturn these hierarchies, pursue ecological enmeshment, and celebrate black women, queerness, and corporeality.
