- Praise for Libertie
“The story of Weeksville, a free Black community founded in Brooklyn in the nineteenth century, is a gripping central piece of American history. The experiences of two extraordinary women there are brought to vivid life in Libertie . . . A deeply moving portrait.” —USA Today
“Greenidge’s immersive story . . . heralds a blossoming literary career.” —Los Angeles Times
“With Libertie . . . Greenidge is making a stylistic leap with an intricately researched and lushly imagined coming-of-age story set in nineteenth-century Brooklyn and Jacmel, Haiti . . . Both epic and intimate.” —The New York Times
