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

dark emotional informative sad fast-paced

4.5

I learned so much from dr. Rebecca Hall!! I love that her work is intersectional: it talks about the black and female experience as a slave. I didn’t know that Africans revolted on slave ships and I especially didn’t know that there was more likely to be a revolt with more women on the ship. I am so thankful that she decided to make her dissertation into a graphic novel. 

Thank you for taking us on your dissertation journey with you. I am sorry that even in your research you are facing racism for uncovering the truth.
