"Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston
Once you get used to the southern black dialogue of the main characters, it gives a tremendous look into the plight of the black American moving from slavery to freedom in the Deep South. The book was written in the 1930's and Hurston never received any recognition for it until after her death when Alice Walker brought "Eyes" into the mainstream.
HIGHLY recommended -- 9/10
