Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Riotous Black Girls, Troublesome Women, and Queer Radicals by Saidiya Hartman

5.0

challenging dark informative medium-paced

Hartman is without question a wonderful writer and I found this book to be beautifully written, and of course extremely depressing. This is a hugely important book and I think it should be required reading for anyone that wants to do anything with this time period of history in the US
