Focusing on the theme of resistance, this classic volume examines the extensive history of slave revolts in Jamaica, highlighting the resilience and creativity of enslaved individuals. Hart presents a thorough analysis of the Maroon Wars and various rebellions, demonstrating how these actions influenced the British government's approach to emancipation, ultimately leading to the earlier-than-expected freedom of slaves. The book offers an in-depth and accessible study that challenges the notion that slavery stifled intellectual and cultural expression among the enslaved.
