The short story, “Nineteen Thirty-Seven,” is a powerful and vivid story that follows the
plight of a woman who has a mother in prison
...
There are many strong symbols in the story such as the
“Madonna” that the narrator, the woman, carries around and the river that she dips her wrist into
as a child
...
According to the story, there was a huge massacre by the Spanishspeaking Dominican to all Haitians living there
...
The story itself takes place in Haiti
...

One common misconception of the Haitian people in the time period of the story is that
many of them practice witchcraft
...
In this prison, the narrator described the dehumanization of a
people
...

“Ninety Thirty-Seven” prove it
...
The way she describes these events, surprisingly, seems as if she is not looking for
sympathy
...
