4.5

an intense, sweeping, and revolutionary work on the history of american slavery and Black rebellion/liberation. important reading for anyone interested in Black studies and american history and/or literature. it is a challening read as the language and plot are extremely dense, and it oftem blurs the line between history and fiction.
