This paper aims to explore the interstitial spaces of social space in literary representation, especially in the novel of Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God published in 1937. I think the novel reflects on the social relations through the medium of space and tries to find the generative possibilities of the interstitial spaces in the politics of identity. Blackness, as does each of the other modern identities, homogenizes the black by way of cultural representations in the territory, but fragments and discriminately locates them in different positions to counter the hegemony of the cultural power of the white in the US since the birth of the nation. But the racial binary opposition in the US has removed various differences in the space of each identity. This placeless spatialization, a localization from above named by me, seems to subsume all the people within the boundary of the cultural politics of the identity, but the subaltern who has no voice in a society retains their singularity and space. The space that could be made by a localization from below crosses the border between ‘in’ and ‘out’ of the identity and makes a generative locality through the change of the relations in a locality. I try, in this paper, to explain the naturalized locality in the hometown of Janie and Etonville, Florida and the generative locality as interstitial space in Everglades, Florida in Their Eyes.
