Acceptance of Black Culture Through Afro-American Folktales: The Voice of Enslaved Folk

Abstract | Every culture has its own beauty, truth, customs, laws, and history and sometimes most of them are expressed through folktales. This is a short, precise, and aphoristic article about the cultural and social worlds of Afro-Americans which I will examine through the lens of Afro-American folktales. These tales are not human beings and yet they are alive for they contain the most unforgettable memories, emotions, and feelings of mankind. Zora Neale Hurston was one of the most gifted authors of twentieth-century Afro-American Literature who empowered and acknowledged black arts by giving it a unique identity. The best thing about Hurston’s literary works is that she allows her readers to visualize and investigate the true meaning of their individuality and personality. Hurston was like a true preacher who taught Afro-Americans that it is better to play with words than with the emotions and feelings of people. Through her writings, she unveiled White Americans who believed in controlling the lives of Black folk through slavery. She protests this propaganda in her literary works which have the essence of folktales. |
Keywords | Afro-American Folktales, Cultural Conflicts, Zora Neale Hurston, Racial Issues. |
