Among Hurston’s legacies is her extensive anthropological travel and narration of connections between the Caribbean and US South. In a sense she collected the common threads through culture, as historians had done through records of transport, sale, and shifting settler colonies. What is revealed repeatedly is that, even with variations when it came to the particulars, the color line persisted through the Deep South and Caribbean. It can even be called a single region if one tends to history more than borders.
