WAKE - REBECCA HALL GEBUNDEN

'A must-read graphic history. . . an inspired and inspiring defence of heroic women whose
struggles could be fuel for a more just future' Guardian 'Not only a riveting tale of Black
women's leadership of slave revolts but an equally dramatic story of the engaged scholarship
that enabled its discovery' Angela Y. Davis Women warriors planned and led slave revolts on
slave ships during the passage across the Atlantic. They fought their enslavers throughout the
Americas. And then they were erased from history. In Wake Rebecca Hall  a historian  a
granddaughter of slaves  and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery  tells their story. With
in-depth archival research and a measured use of historical imagination  she constructs the
likely pasts of women rebels who fought for freedom on slave ships bound to America  as well as
the stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York. Beneath both is Hall's own
tale: of a life lived in the shadow of slavery and its consequences. Strikingly illustrated in
black and white  Wake explores both a personal and a global legacy. Part graphic novel  part
memoir  it is a powerful reminder that while the past is gone  we still live in its wake.
