ZORA NEALE HURSTON (1891-1960)
1 moved to London with her husband,
Who was Zora NEALE HURSTON?
Zora Neale Hurston was not only an
anthropologist, but also a novelist
and playwright. She emerged as one
of the leading figures in the Harlem
Renaissance movement and is today
considered as a major influence by
many black feminist authors.
Zora Neale Hurston began studying
anthropology in 1926 at Columbia
University in New York. Her professor,
Franz Boas was one of the founders of
modern anthropology. He encouraged
his students to carry out extensive field
research and upheld the belief that
no culture is superior to another. By
viewing her world through the "lens
of anthropology", a discipline then
predominantly the preserve of whites,
Hurston validated the significance and
uniqueness of the knowledge from
the southern United States within the
university.
If we had to highlight just one
aspect of her anthropological work,
what would it be?
Her research in Florida, during
which she collected a wealth of
legends, proverbs, workers' tales and
children's songs from African-American
populations. She was also recognised as
a pioneer in ethnographic filming.
Additionally, her investigations
into the Vodou* cult in New Orleans,
Haiti and Jamaica. She collected
Vodou chants and even took part in
ceremonies.
How did she go "beyond
anthropology"?
Zora Neale Hurston consistently
challenged the boundaries separating
various types of knowledge in all her
practices, whether intellectual
or artistic.
RECOMMENDED READING:
Her cult novel Their Eyes Were
Watching God (1937) was set in Florida.
The story follows Janie Mae Crawford,
a free and emancipated black woman
who defies the conventions of every
world she navigates.
* This cult, a legacy of slavery marked by possession
and healing rituals and accompanied by singing and
drumming, reflects the heritage of African cultural
practices.
ESLANDA GOODE ROBESON (1895 - 1965)
2
Who was Eslanda GOODE
ROBESON?
Eslanda Goode Robeson, an
anthropologist as well as an anti-
colonialist and anti-fascist activist,
the singer Paul Robeson, between
1927 and 1939. She befriended
and campaigned alongside African,
Caribbean and Indian students and
activists. In 1933, she began her studies
at the London School of Economics
and Political Science under Bronisław
Malinowski (1884-1942), a leading figure
in modern anthropology.
If we had to highlight just one
aspect of her anthropological work,
what would it be?
Her research work in South and
East Africa. While studying in
London alongside African students,
Eslanda Goode Robeson criticised the
legitimacy of European anthropologists
who, in their view, were "interpreting"
black culture on behalf of the people
it concerned. She then accepted an
invitation from Akiki Nyabongo, an
Oxford anthropology student, to carry
out her first field research on cattle
farming in his native Uganda. She took
her eight-year-old son, Pauli, with her!
But there's more... her photography!
Eslanda Goode Robeson's photographs
present her authentic, timeless and
straightforward perspective. She
captured images of both urban and
rural spaces as well as her friends.
How did she go "beyond
anthropology"?
Eslanda Goode Robeson used
anthropology as a tool to fuel
her activism. She fought against
racial segregation and supported
decolonization movements. She
published countless articles advocating
her ideas in the left-wing press and
created global networks of political and
feminist solidarity.
RECOMMENDED READING:
African Journey (1945), the first best-
selling book about Africa written by
an African-American woman. In it, she
recounts her daily life in South Africa,
Zanzibar, Kenya and Uganda. She
speaks out against the colonial system
and highlights the living conditions of
Johannesburg's miners. She also takes
an interest in urban planning in cities
and the conditions faced by women.
KATHERINE DUNHAM (1909 - 2006)
3 Beyond the anthropological
Who was Katherine DUNHAM?
Katherine Dunham was not only an
anthropologist, but also a pioneer
in modern dance and an innovative
choreographer. She played an
active role in the fight against racial
segregation.
In 1945, she founded the "Dunham
School of Arts and Research" in New
York, where young people from Harlem
rubbed shoulders with stars like
Marlon Brando and James Dean. The
school taught dance, arts, languages,
psychology and anthropology.
By the end of the 1930s, she was
enjoying huge acclaim, touring with her
company in the whole world. She was
also the first African-American woman
to choreograph an opera at New York's
Metropolitan Opera House (Verdi's
Aida) in 1963.
If we had to highlight just one
aspect of her anthropological work,
what would it be?
Her work in the Caribbean where
she extensively filmed both rural and
urban dances. Then, she realised that
the best way to understand Caribbean
dances was to respect the communities
by participating and learning from them.
Additionally, her ballet L'Ag'Ya
(Chicago Theatre, 1938), inspired by
a dance she filmed during her stay in
Martinique.
How did she go "beyond
anthropology"?
dimension, she also used dance to
express her political commitment.
On 9 January 1953, at the Théâtre de
Chaillot in Paris, for the first and only
time, she presented her most political
ballet: Southland. Censored in Chile
and Argentina following pressure
from the US government, Southland
condemned the lynchings in the
southern United States.
The ballet concluded with the image of a
lynched black body hanging from a tree,
accompanied by the song, Strange Fruit,
made famous by Billie Holiday in 1939.
