El poder inolvidable de Beloved de Toni Morrison y la atmósfera evocativa de A Respectable Trade de Phillippa Gregory se combinan en esta revolucionaria novela de Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, que ilustra un aspecto poco conocido de la historia -el comercio transatlántico de personas esclavizadas en Puerto Rico- narrado a través de la experiencia de Pola, una cautiva africana utilizada como paridora de esclavos.

Pola, una mujer esclavizada en el Puerto Rico del siglo XIX ha sido forzada a vivir en el mundo brutalmente inhumano de las paridoras de esclavos. Golpeada y violada repetidamente, sus bebés le son arrebatados en el momento de nacer para no volver a verlos jamás. Después de un intento de fuga y una golpiza despiadada, despierta en una nueva plantación, Las Mercedes, para formar parte de su diversa comunidad negra. Pero su pasado la persigue en este nuevo hogar. ¿Podrá una mujer sobrepasar la desconfianza y la amargura? Aun cuando sobrevive a un mundo salvaje, ¿podrá volver a entablar relaciones normales o alcanzar un sentido saludable de su propia valía?

Los lectores acompañarán a Pola en su viaje hacia la sanación. De la sádica barbarie de sus experiencias iniciales, pasa a recibir compasión y apoyo de parte de una nueva comunidad revitalizante. En el camino, aprenderá a reconocer y aceptar las muchas caras del amor: el amor de madre, el amor de hija, el amor de hermana, el amor de la comunidad, y el amor propio, que debe recuperar antes de poder ofrecerse a otra persona. Indómita es una novela en la que el espíritu humano triunfa aun en las condiciones más brutales.

Combining the haunting power of Toni Morrison's Beloved with the evocative atmosphere of Phillippa Gregory's A Respectable Trade, Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa's groundbreaking novel illuminates a little discussed aspect of history--the Puerto Rican Atlantic Slave Trade--witnessed through the experiences of Pola, an African captive used as a breeder to bear more slaves.

A Woman of Endurance, set in nineteenth-century Puerto Rican plantation society, follows Pola, a deeply spiritual African woman who is captured and later sold for the purpose of breeding future slaves. The resulting babies are taken from her as soon as they are born. Pola loses the faith that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive. The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her. But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common humanity.

Readers are invited to join Pola in her journey to healing. From the sadistic barbarity of her first experiences, she moves on to receive compassion and support from a revitalizing new community. Along the way, she learns to recognize and embrace the many faces of love--a mother's love, a daughter's love, a sister's love, a love of community, and the self-love that she must recover before she can offer herself to another. It is ultimately, a novel of the triumph of the human spirit even under the most brutal of conditions.

Sleek and sturdy, conforms well to most monitor backs
Very sturdy, no flex or sag when hanging midsize DT 900 Pro X. Applied well to my curved monitor back after prepping the surface with isopropyl alcohol. The 9 different mounting points give a lot of flexibility and conform to the monitor shape. Great value considering it saves space on my desk, lower maintenance; does not need dusting like a separate stand. The headband pad is very soft (silicone?) with gentle curve that should not leave sharp indentations in headband. I do wish the headband pad were a bit longer for hanging the headset cable when not in use.

Space Saving Headset Stand
Needed a headset stand that saves space, perfect for my gaming setup. Glue strips are holding up so far.

Very nice little box.
This is a great little jewelry box. I don’t have tons of jewelry right now, so this fits everything well, and the leather-look material is very nice. I like the simple design and organization, and it is a nice size to travel with. It looks really pretty sitting on my dresser and goes with the aesthetic of my home well.
