Summary: Still We Rise
Comment: The second volume of Simone Schwarz-Bart's history of black women focuses on black women during slavery in the Americas. As lavishly illustrated as the first volume which focused on ancient African queens, "Heroines of the Slavery Era" profiles the lives of fourteen remarkable African and African-American women who managed to rise above the degradations of slavery to place themselves in the history books for all time. Besides the already familiar figures of Phyllis Wheatley, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman, we also learn about Aqualtune, a Congolese princess enslaved in Brazil; Anastasia, who became the patron saint of Brazil's black people; Solitude, a heroine and martyr of the 1802 slave rebellion on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, and many more. We hear the haunting voices of the slaves themselves and what they endured. The breathtaking illustrations throughout this book are taken from paintings and photographs in the historical archives. Volume II of "In Praise of Black Women" continues the standard of excellence set in the first book. It's a book to be read and treasured by all women everywhere.
