Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Rebecca Hall
I had no idea this was a graphic novel when I ordered it from Bookshop. It was one of a handful of books I wanted to add to my library by Black authors, and the subject of women not just being involved in but LEADING slave revolts more than piqued my curiosity. Illustrator Hugo Martinez did a PROFOUND job visualizing Hall's struggle to find documentation of these women-led revolts, and Hall astounded me with her ability to deduce likely scenarios of how these revolts came to be. Highly recommend!!!
