Brutal but necessary. Glad I finally picked it up from my shelf.

“History written by the victors always erases resistance.”
Harrowing tales of women. Their stories are sparse. But we should listen to what they were fighting for.
This graphic novel is a great propellor for further investigation and research. For instance, the chapter revolving around the business of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade peeks so much curiosity and distain. But you need to go elsewhere for further answers. They won’t be found in this book.

Incredible book! Would highly recommend reading to compliment Homegoing. A really cool and new way to read and learn about history in general. Really enjoyed seeing Hall’s research process along with her findings and lack there of. The illustrations by Martinez are also captivating and incredibly detailed and moving. Really amazing read!

Two main thoughts about this book:
1. I struggle with graphic novels that are illustrated only in black and white. They never pull me in as much as full color does.
2. I found myself frustrated by the lack of information in the book. I understand that in a way, that is part of the point. The author points out how hard it was to find detailed documentation of the enslaved women she was writing about, at least in part because they weren’t thought of as people. But I ultimately finished the book feeling like I didn’t actually learn much about the slave revolts.
