This book uses a single object - a bag given to a daughter by her mother - to illustrate the history of the region, the cruelties of slavery and the resilience of Black women. The writing places the bag and its contents in a historical context and then extrapolates on the history of the women associated through the scant archival record and similar narratives by others. I learned a lot from this.
