Beschreibung

<p><i>I dreamed with my eyes open. All the Corregidora women with narrow waists and high cheekbones and wide hips. All the Corregidora woman dancing. </i><br><br> Blues singer Ursa is consumed by her hatred of Corregidora, the nineteenth-century slave master who fathered both her mother and grandmother. Charged with 'making generations' to bear witness to this legacy of abuse, Ursa must confront her family history after a fight with her husband leaves her unable to have children. Haunted by the ghosts of a Brazilian plantation, pained by the fractured relationships of her present, she slowly and firmly strikes her own terms with womanhood. <br><br><b>No novel about any Black woman could ever be the same after this' TONI MORRISON</b><br><br><b><i>'Corregidora</i></b><b> is the most brutally honest and painful revelation of what has occurred, and is occurring, in the souls of Black men and women' JAMES BALDWIN</b><br><br> <b>'An American writer with a powerful sense of vital inheritance, of history in the blood' JOHN UPDIKE, <i>NEW YORKER<br></i></b></p>
