Sobre este artículo
Random House, 1975. 1st. Very Good. "A literary classic that remains vital to our understanding of the past, Corregidora is Gayl Jones's powerful debut novel, examining womanhood, sexuality, and the psychological residue of slavery. Jones masterfully tells the story of Ursa, a Kentucky blues singer, who, in the wake of a tragic loss, confronts her maternal history and the legacy of Corregidora, the Brazilian slave master who fathered both her mother and grandmother. Consumed and haunted by her hatred of the man who irrevocably shaped her life and the lives of her family, Ursa Corregidora must come to terms with a past that is never too distant from the present." -- Hard cover

Sobre Oasis in the Diaspora
Oasis in the Diaspora is a literary, cultural and artistic emporium featuring a collection of books and ephemera each of which have led their own marvelous lives. Consisting of more than 12,000 rare Black books, small press poetry, multicultural children's books, and unique cultural artifacts, the collection primarily reflects the visions and voices of Black writers, historians, activists, artists and scholars across the African diaspora. Sweet smelling pages housed in pristine dust jackets, illustrated by the likes of artists Romare Bearden, Tom Feelings and Lois Malou Jones, are graced with the signatures and inscriptions of icons including Octavia Butler, Alice Walker, Amiri Baraka, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Roy DeCarava, and contemporary writers of equal brilliance.
The Oasis in the Diaspora archives also includes a collection of more than 5,000 letters documenting Black lives and cultures from the late 19th century to the present, including correspondences from Jennifer Lawson, Afeni Shakur, Barack Obama, Richard Pryor, June Jordan, Shirley Graham DuBois, Angela Davis and hundreds of others.
Amassed by writer, activist, cultural broker and former manager of the iconic DC bookstore Drum and Spear Daphne Muse, the collection is now being sold to the people in order to preserve the legacies of those who have been an integral part of forging the paths of Black lives and cultures across two and into three centuries. Take a beat to browse, and behold the collective knowledge of Black lives across the Diaspora.
