Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts, Rebecca Hall
Part graphic novel, part memoir, Wake is an imaginative tour-de-force that tells the “powerful” (The New York Times Book Review) story of women-led slave revolts and chronicles scholar Rebecca Hall’s efforts to uncover the truth about these women warriors who, until now, have been left out of the historical record. www.amazon.com/Wake-Hidden-History-Women-Led-Revolts/dp/1982115181 No More!: Stories and Songs of Slave Resistance, Doreen Rappaport “Using true accounts, author Doreen Rappaport puts readers in the shoes of 11 extraordinary individuals and documents the many forms of slave resistance: subversion, uprisings, escape, poetry, religion, and song.” www.thriftbooks.com/w/no-more-stories-and-songs-of-slave-resistance_doreen-rappaport_shane-w-evans/1259592/item/6575746/?gclid=CjwKCAjwwo-WBhAMEiwAV4dybYzw-0mDdtuuYfPsPQDTj3wxcSPVZHjWqC9mc8qTZ157ntXdOJXmThoCgr0QAvD_BwE#idiq=6575746&edition=3349369 |
