Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Rebecca Hall
"The more women onboard a slave ship, the more likely a revolt."
Dr. Rebecca Hall and Hugo MartÃnez have done something remarkable with this book, working to correct the historical narrative around revolts during slavery. The book is written through Hall's perspective, expertly documenting the mixed emotions of this type of archival research. Glimpses into this type of academic legwork are rare, and this book shines a light on how much effort is expended to research and rewrite white-washed history. The illustrations are next level, as MartÃnez's careful intention and meticulous execution elevate this work to a new level. All around amazing read.
