Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.
Zora Neale Hurston
Every tub sits on its bottom.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
