Zora Neale Hurston (7 January 1891 – 28 January 1960) was an influential African-American author and anthropologist known for her work during the Harlem Renaissance. She spent time in Haiti and Jamaica studying Haitian Vodou practices, which she published in her 1938 book Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica, blending folklore and anthropology with storytelling.[1]
Legacy
In November 2013, Christopher Darby cited Hurston's book in a November 2013 email with his Abstergo Entertainment co-workers discussing new time periods for a company project, saying that Hurston's experiences with voodoo could be used present zombies to audiences in a more authentic manner after Chief Creative Officer Olivier Garneau initially shot down the idea for being outlandish.[2]
