@dem8z I live in Montpellier where I come across American pensioners who praise the French state for letting them come and stay in their old age in France… puzzling for me who has contributed to our national health system all my life through my taxes…

@dem8z Why didn’t she get the Nobel prize for literature ? I met her too in Kalamazoo for a black women writers conference and she cheekily said to a member of the audience : learn French if you want to read me…

Hurston studied under Turner and I think owes a lot of her understanding of the workings of AAVE to him. A connection that has been undervalued.

@AfricanArchives He was Zora Neale Hurston’s teacher and a major influence on her outlook on language and AAVE

@dem8z Here is the French version of the salt eaters

@dem8z She did warn me to be very careful about the different feuds at the time of the publication of walker’s own biography of wright. One can so easily be led astray

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]

@dem8z Congratulations to maryemma ! I have exchanged with on the different biographies of Richard Wright, notably Michel Fabre’s. I am looking forward to reading it. Great news.

@KeeangaYamahtta From France: all our support for your fights for rights!

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]

@FeministReview_ At long last! Finally an acknowledgement of the expertise of scholars in the humanities! May numerous others follow suit.

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]

@dem8z No it’s a talk you gave in 2010 I believe. It’s just that the colleague (Richard manning) is reading Ellison and Kathleen Collins in a way that I found unsettling

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]

@dem8z Dear Deborah McDowell, I just mentioned your talk on Richard Wright and emotion to a colleague of mine who is writing an essay on emotion and American literature

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]

@dem8z Congratulations! I fondly remember her visit to our research center at the university of Tours in the nineties.

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]

@dem8z I was quoting her in my paper on translating Their Eyes yesterday!

[Raynaud Claudine @ClaudineRaynaud]
