These brutal and tragic tales, reported through the eyes of the
victims, lend context to the ongoing fight for individual liberties
worldwide.-- "Library Journal"

Brazil's black origin. It's hard to look away.--
"Hyperallergic"

that ensures that the legacy of brave men and women who refused to
relinquish their humanity will not disappear.-- "Publishers
Weekly"
Words are minimal, and the images live in a stark white world
slowly being encroached upon by smudges of shadow. The
image-intensive approach forces readers to slow down and take in
the complex visual experience, which taps more deeply into emotion
and renders the tales all the more accessible.-- "Booklist"
