“Book Descriptions: The short story Sweat by American author Zora Neale Hurston was first published in 1926 in Fire!!, a single-issue magazine published during the Harlem Renaissance. Hurston was an anthropologist and writer whose works included many essays on anthropology and folklore focused on African American communities in the American South and the Caribbean, as well as novels and short stories. Hurston often wrote dialog in vernacular to capture the everyday diction and idioms, and with adapted phonetic spellings to capture the sound and rhythm, of the English spoken by Black people in the rural south, specifically Florida, in the early 20th century.” DRIVE
