‘Le drame de l’Afrique, c’est que l’homme africain n’est pas assez entré dans l’histoire.’ (SARKOZY). Discuss the literary representation of history in relation to this controversial statement.

What would you do if you had no control over your own life? In the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, written by Zora Neale Hurson, the author talks about many problems readers experience today. There was one that stood out to me. This is the problem we are still facing today. This essay will talk about some of the problems women in the novel face.
