· Plays and Opera: Mixing White and Black Cultures and Caricatures
External Learning Tool
Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960) was one of the most dynamic writers of the Harlem Renaissance. Take a look at Three Plays: Lawing and Jawing; Forty Yards; Woofing by Hurston. Note that she uses some of the very caricatures of African Americans we saw in the Jim Crow Museum. Her work shows how deeply engrained in African American cultural norms were those stereotypes. You may want to look at how African American audiences responded to Hurston's plays in the 1930s. Did Hurston play with the stereotypes for humor or empowerment of the African American audience?
