Overview
Además de los levantamientos de esclavos y los escapes en el Ferrocarril Subterráneo, las personas esclavizadas también resistieron el maltrato mediante pequeños actos en sus vidas cotidianas. Descubre las diversas formas de resistencia a la esclavitud. In addition to slave uprisings and escapes on the Underground Railroad, enslaved people also resisted their mistreatment through small acts in their everyday lives. Discover the many forms of resistance to slavery. Now in Spanish! Read Woke Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
