"An historical and imaginative tour-de-force, WAKE brings to light for the first time the existence of enslaved black women warriors, whose stories can be traced by carefully scrutinizing historical records; and where the historical record goes silent, WAKE reconstructs the likely past of two female rebels, Adono and Alele, on the slave ship The Unity. WAKE is a graphic novel that offers invaluable insight into the struggle to survive whole as a black woman in today's America; it is a historiography that illuminates both the challenges and the necessity of uncovering the true stories of slavery; and it is an overdue reckoning with slavery in New York City where two of these armed revolts took place. It is, also, a transformative and transporting work of imaginative fiction, bringing to three-dimensional life Adono and Alele and their pasts as women warriors. In so doing, WAKE illustrates the humanity of the enslaved, the reality of their lived experiences, and the complexity of the history that has been, till now, so thoroughly erased"--… (meer)

The graphic novel format is an unusual choice for a memoir of a historian’s research into the history of slavery and women-led slave revolts, but it works. The clear text and the black and white illustrations combine to impress on the reader the enormity of the historian’s task, the frustration arising from incomplete or missing historical records, and the anger and shame at running up against barriers to access to primary sources that might contain answers to the historian’s questions. The illustrations give form and face to enslaved persons whose names have mostly been lost to history but whose resistance to enslavement lives on in history for those who make an effort to see it.

This book would be useful for college students as an introduction to historical research. Hall describes her research question, the libraries and archival repositories she visited, the record groups she searched, and the other repositories and records the trail led her to. ( )

“If you believe something doesn’t exist, you don’t go looking for it. Worse, if you stumble on it, you still can’t see it.”

I’ve always asked why there is so little attention on slave revolts from people of African descent, hmm... I really enjoyed the level of research Hall has compiled, and the digging she did to find the little that was documented. Then, she had to look between the lines.

I didn’t personally mesh well with the artwork, but it conveyed the story fine. I just wish the shading wasn’t down with harsh, thick black lines. ( )

Wonderful, fascinating, and depressing! ( )

Wake captivates the reader with the perfect union between past and present. Rebecca Hall shares the hardships she experienced while researching for her dissertation on the topic of women- led slave revolts. In Hugo Martinez harsh lines is reflection of the desperation and despair that characters feel. Wake allows the reader to experience complex emotions without belittling the reader for not knowing about the silent history. ( )

The artwork is terrible and it ruined the narrative for me. I skim read and tried to ignore the drawing but it makes my head hurt, like a bunch of half-assed sketches nobody cared enough to finish. ( )
