Description
Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts Rebecca Hall's powerful story of women-led slave revolts is a riveting tour de force that sheds light on the often-erased history of female warriors who fought against slavery. Hall's journey takes her through old court records, slave ship captain's logs, and forensic evidence to uncover the truth about women who planned and led revolts on slave ships during the Middle Passage and in Colonial New York. Hall's own story is intertwined with the history she seeks to uncover, as the legacy of slavery shapes her life and informs her work as a historian. With a remarkable blend of passion and fact, Hall constructs the likely pasts of women rebels like Adono and Alele, and brings their stories to life in a beautifully illustrated graphic novel. Wake is a remarkable work that will take its place alongside other classics of the graphic novel genre.
