Description
Freedom: The Overthrow of the Slave Empires
This new work by James Walvin explores the resistance of enslaved people across the Atlantic world, from sabotage and absconding to full-blown uprisings. By examining the slave insurrections that helped bring an end to slavery, Walvin sheds new light on a significant shift in Western history.
Walvin's focus is on the agency of those who were enslaved, rather than the abolitionist movement or the brutality of slavery itself. The result is a fresh perspective on this major period in human history.
