Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie discusses Zora Neale Hurston’s early twentieth-century ethnographic research and writing. It emphasizes the essentials of food in Florida including everyday meals as well as special occasions and looks at what shaped people’s eating traditions in early twentieth century Florida. Opie shows that Hurston did for Florida what William Faulkner did for Mississippi—both provided insight into a state’s history and culture through various styles of writing and contributed to a larger southern canon.
