Read BELOVED chapter 1 (pages 3-23).
You will need to keep a dialectical journal for the book, so mark it up and make notes.

Beloved explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual devastation wrought by slavery. How do people and a nation heal from its past, and how do we remember or re-remember it?
NOTE the DEDICATION - "Sixty Million and more". The book is dedicated to those unnamed Africans who died during the "Middle Passage" or during the Atlantic Slave trade.
Also note the epigraph from Romans.
Read it and reflect - here are some interpretations:
