- More about Belly to the Brutal

It invokes the realm of chora and uses curanderisma and feminist brujería to create a transformative response to violence.

Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
Belly to the Brutal is a powerful corrido that delves into the profound bond between mothers and daughters, challenging the deeply ingrained complicity with patriarchal violence that has been passed down through generations. This poetic work ventures into the realm of chora, where humming, screaming, and rhythm merge to transcend patriarchal and racist constructs. Drawing upon curanderisma and a resurgence of feminist brujería, Jennifer Givhan creates a healing space for Brown women and mothers. Within these poems, beauty and devastation intertwine to forge a path toward liberation from the systems that have long oppressed women. The poems immerse themselves in the rich language of motherfear, where love blossoms amidst the wounds. This poetic invocation moves towards a transformative resolution of violence, ultimately leading to redemption.
