["Once 'way back yonder...."]  aSteve Mattern  a"The Eatonville Anthology" by Zora Neale Hurston is a collection of vignettes written during the early 20th century. Through a series of character sketches and brief stories, the book explores the lives, joys, and struggles of the African American community in Eatonville, Florida, which was one of the first all-Black towns to be incorporated in the United States. The anthology captures the rich culture, social dynamics, and everyday experiences of its inhabitants, providing a vibrant glimpse into their world.  The book presents a series of short narratives, each depicting distinct characters such as Mrs. Tony Roberts, the perennial beggar; Jim Merchant, who finds humor in his wife's quirks; and the witty gossip regarding Daisy Taylor, the town vamp who flirts with married men. Other anecdotes showcase the quirky tales of Old Man Anderson, who has never seen a train, and the amusing escapades of Coon Taylor, who playfully steals melons yet eludes catch. Through a blend of humor, social commentary, and poignant observations, Hurston effectively illustrates the complexity and resilience of life in Eatonville, while celebrating African American culture and community.
