Mules and Men

Zora Neale Hurston · J. B. Lippincott · 1935

Why this source matters

Hurston collected jook songs, dances and the social codes of the jook as a Black anthropologist working in her own communities in Florida and Louisiana; the closest thing to an insider ethnography of jook culture as it was lived.
