Summary:
Their Eyes Were Watching God, an American classic, is the luminous
and haunting novel about Janie Crawford, a Southern Black woman in
the 1930s, whose journey from a free-spirited girl to a woman of
independence and substance has inspired writers and readers for close
to 70 years. This poetic, graceful love story, rooted in Black folk
traditions and steeped in mythic realism, celebrates boldly and
brilliantly African-American culture and heritage. And in a powerful,
mesmerizing narrative, it pays quiet tribute to a Black woman who,
though constricted by the times, still demanded to be heard.
Originally published in 1937 and long out of print, the book was
reissued in 1975 and nearly three decades later Their Eyes Were
Watching God is considered a seminal novel in American fiction.
