Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts by Rebecca Hall

4.0

incredibly informative and powerful. a must read for anyone looking to learn more about slavery and how a lot of its history has not only gone undocumented, but has often been erased and barred from public access. as a librarian, it was difficult to read how many times the author was denied or turned away from archives and other information institutions when compiling research on women-led slave revolts. however, I also know that the information profession is not exempt from a history of racism nor from rewriting or suppressing history, and this book was a very important reminder.
