BookTok influencer tomesandtextiles reviewed the book, calling it both "timely and necessary." The book delves into the often-overlooked history of forceful resistance by Black Americans. In a short excerpt from the book, Jackson notes, "Revolutions are complicated. Americans venerate the American Revolution and the French Revolution, but other revolutions, particularly ones that involve violence committed by people of color, are rejected and feared." This insightful observation highlights the book's focus on challenging conventional narratives. The book is available through TikTokShop, making it easily accessible to a wider audience.
