Recenzii
Corregidora is a poem to black men and women. It is an ode, howbeit painful, to all the participants in the American Experience
James Baldwin 'A small, fiercely concentrated story, harsh and perfectly told
An American writer with a powerful sense of vital inheritance, of history in the blood
The sexual writing - and this is a book with virtually no other subject than sex - is a model of grace and taste

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
No novel about any Black woman could ever be the same after this' TONI MORRISON
I dreamed with my eyes open. All the Corregidora women with narrow waists and high cheekbones and wide hips. All the Corregidora women dancing.
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.
Upon publication in 1975, Corregidora was hailed as a masterpiece, winning acclaim from writers including James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison and John Updike. Exploring themes such as race, sexuality and the long repercussions of slavery, this powerful novel paved the way for Beloved and The Colour Purple.
'Corregidora 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
'A literary giant, and one of my absolute favourite writers' TAYARI JONES
'An American writer with a powerful sense of vital inheritance, of history in the blood' JOHN UPDIKE, NEW YORKER
