The marginalization African American women have experienced over the years makes them produce an alternative communication system based on sight and visual understanding. That is, the visual takes over the impossibility of black women to express themselves verbally: instead of voice there is sight.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Este ensayo se concentra en cómo, en Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) de Zora Neale Hurston, las mujeres afroamericanas se hacen notar a partir del uso de la mirada y experiencias de índole visual. La marginalización que las mujeres afroamericanas han experimentado a lo largo del tiempo hace que produzcan un sistema de comunicación alternativo basado en la vista y la comprensión visual. Es decir, lo visual se antepone a la imposibilidad que tienen las mujeres negras para expresarse verbalmente: en vez de lo verbal está lo visual.]]></p></abstract>
