Review: Ancestry in progress - At first I thought this was going to be slow, because I often don't like history books where the narrative follows the author around and show what they learn piece by piece. But for this book, it's part of the structure. The inspirational talk at the end is about reclaiming the past and putting it together with your present, and imagining a new, possible future. So the past and the present are in the book, and on another level the book was written and physically made in the past and you, the reader, are reading it in the present; and then you're at the end of the book and by definition everything else is the future. The book is also about Dr. Hall's search to use present understanding to get an accurate picture of the past out of records that made people into objects. So you have to see the present along with the words of the past, which are quoted in the book. "When we go back and retrieve our past, our legacy of resistance through impossible odds, our way out of no way, we redress the void of origin that would erase us. We empower and bring joy to our present. This is ancestry in progress, and it is our superpower." [from the end of chapter 10] It was fascinating to learn how large a part women played in slave revolts, often leading or starting them. It was also neat to read a little about the Ahosi, the women warriors of Dahomey - the real life Dora Milaje. In a way, it's hard to come up with something to say about this book, because so much of the historical events portrayed in the book are tragic. But it's ultimately really hopeful. Because you have to understand the past, and be able to carry it, to move on to the future. I am glad I read it. The last panel of chapter 1 is unforgettable.
Review: A must read for everyone - Not only does this provide insight into unwritten and hidden historical timeline but it also delves into women's history. How much history was erased or unwritten for not only men but specifically white men to save face? And yet here we are presently repeating the same mistakes that keep us from progressing all because the idea of confronting the secrets of the past leaves what else to discover that could change the dynamic of life as we know it.

Wasn't a huge fan of the art. The history and inspiration behind the story was cool.
