Davis) story of Dr. Rebecca Hall, a historian, granddaughter of slaves, and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery. The accepted history of slave revolts has always told her that enslaved women took a back seat. But Rebecca decides to look deeper, and her journey takes her through old court records, slave ship captain's logs, crumbling correspondence, and even the forensic evidence from the bones of enslaved women from the \"negro burying ground\" uncovered in Manhattan. She finds women warriors everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing a \"remarkable blend of passion and fact, action and reflection\" (NPR), Rebecca constructs the likely pasts of Adono and Alele, women rebels who fought for freedom during the Middle Passage, as well as the stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York. We also follow Rebecca's own story as the legacy of slavery shapes her life, both during her time as a successful attorney and later as a historian seeking the past that haunts her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIllustrated beautifully in black and white, \u003ci\u003eWake\u003c\/i\u003e will take its place alongside classics of the graphic novel genre, like Marjane Satrapi's \u003ci\u003ePersepolis\u003c\/i\u003e and Art Spiegelman's \u003ci\u003eMaus\u003c\/i\u003e.
