Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped Into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home by Richard Bell

challenging slow-paced

I might bump this review up, I need to think on it. I liked the mix of narrative and information. It covers an important period of time, and highlights a lot of the horrors people who were enslaved experienced, as well as a foundation of systemic racism we see today. One of the reasons I rated it lower, is that some of the language used by the author caused me pause. Maybe it’s me not being as educated on the matter, but some of the language seemed to not be through an anti racism lens.
