Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts by Rebecca Hall
5.0
emotional informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced
I loved this book. I learned a lot about topics I knew almost nothing about - women-led slave revolts, the history of slavery in New York, and West African history around the time of the slave trade. It was all really eye opening. And I loved that the book centered around the author's own story and her journey to learn about this history that has mostly been purposefully erased. The art is gorgeous, and the visual metaphors on every page were so thought provoking. Highly recommend this book!
