'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.

The political and economic rise of this small but influential community of New Christian bankers and merchants is analysed against the backdrop of its institutional dynamics, in an overall perspective never before conceived. The political, religious, economic, legal, charitable and disciplinary history of the community is thus explored through the analysis of the richly detailed protocol books, written between 1652 and 1682. This is the intimate and fascinating journey of their everyday lives, hopes and challenges, as brought to us by their leaders.

Three women stand at the heart of Enamored Dust, a tale of loves in Los Tecolotes, a fictitious village in central Mexico.

When the violence turns to Revolution and armed horsemen arrive in the village, lives and loves are battered and wrecked, but not the stubborn will to stand up to disaster.

Steeling Chicago: South Side Stories is set in the ethnic neighborhoods where the author grew up. He views the hostility, joy and irony of that world and its challenges through the lens of his Mexican-American heritage.

Nada menos que Eduardo Galeano ha comentado esta obra y en terminos mas que elogiosos: "Aviso a los fanaticos, advertencia a los violentos: alejense de este libro." En estas paginas, se cuenta la historia de un largo duelo que se inicia en la ribera del Riachuelo. Desde hace un siglo ese duelo parte en dos la ciudad de Buenos Aires. El Dios de una mitad, es el Diablo de la otra mitad y viceversa. Quienes confirman su amor a un club por el odio al otro se sentiran defraudados: esta historia revela que, en el fondo, se trata de un juego de espejos."
