NOTES

Edited by Toni Morrison during her tenure at Random House, during which she read the manuscript for Corregidora and stated: "no novel about any black woman could ever be the same after this." Corregidora contains difficult themes of generational trauma, preservation of memory, domestic and sexual violence, and womanhood and motherhood and was highly praised. James Baldwin wrote: "Corregidora is the most brutally honest and painful revelation of what has occurred, and is occurring, in the souls of Black men and woman...it dares to confront the absolute terror which lives at the heart of love."
