Daring to be free : rebellion and resistance of the enslaved in the Atlantic world

Books
The ending of the slave trade and abolition of slavery by European powers during the 19th century is generally told as the work of enlightened liberals fighting against entrenched slaving interests in Africa, the Caribbean, and European capitals. Sudhir Hazareesingh here turns this narrative on its head, showing how the enslaved resisted their oppressors from the earliest years of the Atlantic slave trade in the 16th century until the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865, and how this opposition was the driving force for change. 'Daring To Be Free' portrays the struggle for liberation from the perspective of the enslaved, wherever possible in their own words.
