so-soI didn't find the stories particularly inspiring or interesting. Part of it was that there was definitely some symbolism involved, but no explanation and it was lost on me. The art is plain black and white drawings, but a bit crude and hard to follow at times. Stories worth telling, I just didn't care much for this collection.
Stories of black resistance to Brazilian slavery. Many rebelled by running away to escape.The word Cumbe is used in Latin American countries to refer to settlements on the Brazilian lands inhabited by people of African descent.. gorgeous colors and illustrations.
My boys an husband are asleep and the house is quiet. I opened the window to hear the light wind and birds chirp while I crack open this beauty. #blackhistory #history #Brazil
pickWow. I picked this up on a whim because the cover was so striking, and it did not disappoint. Both the art and the stories were powerful.
Partner went to the comic book store and picked me up a bunch of books (with my own credit). #wakandaforever
Picked this one up through NPR 2017 Booklist. Looks good so far!
