Although most of those who recognize Zora Neal Hurston’s name think of her fiction, Hurston was also an anthropologist, a Student of Franz “papa†Boas, one of the last great public intellectuals in the 20th century. This wonderful, unique monograph provides a history of key events and impressions of daily life in Haiti in a beautiful, accessible manner. History, politics, and Voodoo are the main topics, and each is covered in a way that is both readable and informative. Hurston’s voice is uncommon as an anthropologist (there were not many black women anthropologists at the time), and her narrative weaves observation with interpretations smoothly and beautifully, so that it has about it the feel of a folktale, with scenes joyous, haunting, horrible, and at times, downright creepy.Hurston, who did not often (if ever) say why she was there, was truly a part of the daily lives of the people with whom she stayed, and she withheld information about why she was there because she knew that if she told the people, she would see a performance of people’s lives, rather than actual lives, staged dances rather than real dances. Hurston also brings us a superb example of participant observation, and she makes no pretense that she can somehow get data that is completely uninformed by her presence. Neither does she accept stated perceptions at face value, but rather, challenges them when she feels it is appropriate. Consequently, her grasp of what is going in around her is much stronger.One critique I do have is that Hurston makes sweeping, reductionist statements that betray her positionality (an educated black woman from the United States) in some aspects. I am not saying she wasn’t reflective, as there are many comments throughout the book that lead me to believe she was, but rather, that reflectiveness isn’t ever explicitly stated.For those who enjoy political intrigue, reading about the death of Leconte (chapter 9) might prove quite enjoyable. Leconte isn’t the only memorable character in the book, even if, historically speaking, he may be the best known. Or perhaps that nod goes to Vilbrun Sam. In any case, there is also the buffoon president, his Voodoo priestess daughter, and her husband the goat. Oh, and zombies. The layout of Hurston’s book sets the reader up for the world in which voodoo is at work at that period of time in history, in all places, at all levels of society, leading up to the title chapter, “Go Tell My Horse,†which refers to the “mounting†(or possession) of a person by a loa.Whether for enjoyment or assignment (although I do hope those aren’t mutually exclusive), Go Tell My Horse is an enjoyable, fascinating observation of Haiti in the first half of the 20th century, and I highly recommend you give it a read.
An amazing body of work. I am a Haitian American and I can tell you that the author has answered questions that my 81 year old father had been plagued with forever. Zora Neale Hurston really dived in deep and came out with results. A spectacular read!!!
A classic book on Haiti from someone who immersed herself in its culture. A good first step toward understanding real (not Hollywood) vodu.
This book has changed my life. As a speaker who presents talks on Zora Neale Hurston, I highly recommend this text. The remembrances about Zora's life in Haiti are remarkable and will certainly add to your research. When I found the text on Amazon, I bought the book right away. When I took the text to a conference, I was delighted to see how other Professors who were surprised to see the publication.
Really interesting research by writer Zora Neale Hurston into West Indian island cultures and their still-unexplained (perhaps inexplicable) mysticism and religions. She writes of her experiences and insights with a combination of warmth, humor, respect, and depth; some of the material is quite dark and morbid, as anyone who knows anything of Voodoo and zombies might imagine.
I have read several other books on Haiti. "Tell My Horse" exceeded my expectations. It is filled with Zora Neale Hurston's sharp observations about color, music and dance, social customs, politics, fears and superstitions, and that utterly fascinating religion, Voodoo. Her insights into Voodoo and her vivid descriptions of customs and ceremonies make you hear the sounds and feel the heat of those spiritual nights on the island.
I love that it was a first hand account but I felt it ended too soon and their was oddly not enough about voodoo in this book, although I understand that when you learn voodoo you are not supposed to reveal much of anything
I really expected to like this more than I did. Hurston is a great writer and I have at least a passing interest in voodoo, but much of this fell flat or simply too academic for my taste. I found myself much more interested in the historical aspects of Haiti than I did the somewhat bland takes on the voodoo rituals. It is still really good writing, but her fiction is much better.
