“Using fiction, history, and oral poetry drawn from the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa, this book analyzes how writers reinterpret episodes of historical slave rebellion to conceptualize their understanding of an ideal “master-less” future. Each text reflects different “national” attitudes toward the historicity of slave rebellions that shape the ways the texts are read. An absorbing book about the grip of slavery and rebellion on modern black thought.”
“Adéèkó . . . makes a valuable contribution to studies of the black diaspora by drawing together observations of slave rebellions from the US, Africa, and the Caribbean. June 2006”
