| Abstract: | The paper will analyze the evolving image of Jamie Crawford, a young Afro-American woman in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes were Watching God. The analysis will show how she is mainly defined in terms of her relation to men who fail to recognize her right to individuality and identity as a black woman. The feminist approach will also highlight Hurston’s dissociation from Afro-American literary tradition which is abounding in stereotyped images of black female characters who suffer from white oppression by presenting Jamie who is a victim of black community. |
