Zora Neale Hurston: Forgotten foremother of anthropology -- In Proceedings: 21st Annual Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Forum. Wichita, KS: Wichita State University, p. 31
Abstract
Zora Neale Hurston was a clandestine pioneer in anthropology until her
rediscovery by the likes of scholars Gwendolyn Mikell and Irma McClaurin. Her
contributions have been overlooked as a result of her writing style. It would be remiss to
discuss the history of anthropology without discussing both Hurston’s innovations in
scholarship and her contributions to the body of cultural preservation and knowledge. She
spearheaded the development and introduction of native and diaspora anthropology.
Black and female anthropologists alike can trace elements of their theoretical and
ideological heritage through Zora Neale Hurston.
