Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Hugo Martínez, Rebecca Hall
“This is one way history erases us. What we had to say was not even considered important enough to record. You think you are reading an accurate chronicle written at the time, but if who we are and what we care about are deemed irrelevant, it won't be in there.”
Wow the cover and the art in this nonfiction graphic novel are simply stunning! This is the story of Dr. Rebecca Hall documenting part of her research as a historian on slavery and mainly on women-led revolts. Dr. Hall travels to NYC and the UK in search of documentation and finds how that even the oldest records were under-documented. A fascinating read as it’s part memoir and part historical fiction based on Dr. Hall’s findings.
The subject of slavery is of course tough to read and heartbreaking so read this with self-care.
