Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts by Rebecca Hall
dark
informative
medium-paced
4.5
very insightful and easy to read. people always say "why didn't they fight back?" and my response has always been "why have you assumed they hadn't?"
my only issue is that I wish there was more, but I get that it's easier said than done. the pushback the author faced from trying to get the information she wanted was not surprising, but it's still so baffling how easily people refuse someone of their history and live in the 2020s (they're probably the ones filling up Instagram and Twitter comments with their vileness lol)
