Rebecca tells a real hidden history one in which the deeds of men - Black and white – are noted while the acts of Black women most times go unrecorded. I know this from the work on my presentation on the Queen of Sheba from the Bible and Andromeda from the Classics both women were Black but were actively denied their Black identity - Misogynoir and the History of The Image of the African Woman in Western European Art However in this case Rebecca’s history is really hidden – the history of Black woman. All too often Black history is described as hidden, forgotten, untold and so on, implying some agency denying the history being brought to light when all that’s required is an enquiring mind and a few moments with Google. The book’s subtitle, for me, uses the descriptor hidden for Black history correctly.
