Dr. Ruth Wilson Gilmore will deliver the 2023 Zora Neale Hurston Lecture. Hurston started her career as an anthropologist as a doctoral student at Columbia University. Her skills as an ethnographer during the Harlem Renaissance attended to people and culture in a way that captured the rich daily experiences of African-American life in the South and in the Caribbean. Her literary contributions have greatly changed the landscape in American literature and African-American literature through her characterizations of class disparities in Black working poor and rural communities. Prof. Gilmore’s scholarship and activism exemplifies the intellectual fierceness and talent of Sister Zora.

This talk offers a transnational examination of the Dominican folktale figure of La Cigüapa against the backdrop of colonialism, mining, and neoliberal capitalism from Hispaniola to Washington Heights. La Cigüapa’s aesthetics situates Blackness and gender in the Dominican context to see how Black Dominican women are erased, yet continuously find ways to exist.
