A review by prettypious
You Don't Know Us Negroes and Other Essays by Zora Neale Hurston, Genevieve West, Henry Louis Gates Jr.

5.0

The Ruby McCollum stories and the essay where she read Alain Locke for FILFTH were my fave parts. She really was amazing and her voice and experiences were so necessary. I especially the love the way she complicates and highlights nuances in ideas related to white supremacy, “Black excellence”, the and the “talented tenth”.
