The Amistad Rebellion
Book (italiano):
<DIV><b>A unique account of the most successful slave rebellion in American history?from the award-winning author of <i>The Slave Ship</i></b><br><br> In this powerful and highly original account, Marcus Rediker reclaims the <i>Amistad</i> rebellion for its true proponents: the enslaved Africans who risked death to stake a claim for freedom. Using newly discovered evidence and featuring vividly drawn portraits of the rebels, their captors, and their abolitionist allies, Rediker reframes the story to show how a small group of courageous men fought and won an epic battle against Spanish and American slaveholders and their governments. The successful <i>Amistad</i> rebellion changed the very nature of the struggle against slavery. As a handful of self-emancipated Africans steered their own course for freedom, they opened a way for millions to follow.</div>
