Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Rebecca Hall
This is really two stories in one: the story of women-led slave revolts and the story of Dr. Hall trying to find the information regarding them. As I read the words and processed the images, I was broken by both the untold number of tragic losses of life and lives destroyed by the trans-Atlantic slave trade as well as the frustration of Dr. Hall's research being repeatedly thwarted by white capitalist concerns. Dr. Hall was doing this work for her dissertation in the 1990s and I would hope that such an endeavor would have different results now, but I am not confident that it would.
