Résumé :

Slavery remembrance parallels different narratives in Corregidora. These narrations aim to resist historical erasure. Fighting oppression occurs not only in slavery era but also during Ursa’s relations with her husband Mutt and her sexual partner Tadpole. This article underscores how the author presents the rendering of the past and the subsequent trauma resulting from ancestors’ bondage in characters’ lives. We argue that past and present interconnect with the characters’ lives in so far as what happened centuries ago seem to repeat with them. The main protagonist’s incapacity to fulfill her foremothers’ motto of bearing children has effects on her psyche which result in her trouble relationships with her lovers. When she discovers her great grandmother’s secret, only can she start a new life free from a haunted past.
