Corregidora

Gayl Jones's "Corregidora" is a powerful novella exploring the intergenerational trauma of slavery and its impact on Black women.

The story centers on Ursa, a contemporary Black woman haunted by the legacy of her ancestors.

Jones masterfully weaves together themes of family, sexuality, and the enduring effects of historical violence.

The novel's exploration of trauma and its relationship to identity is a key element of its analysis.

"Corregidora" is considered a seminal work in Black feminist literature.
