Island on Fire: The Revolt That Ended Slavery in the British Empire by Tom Zoellner
5.0
Jamaican history for laypeople i.e. not overly academic, but accessible, and compelling. Reads like a novel.
Incredible clarity about the events and political forces that brought about the end of enslavement in Jamaica.
Sam Sharpe’s bravery, cunning, grit, and steadfastness are so clearly drawn.
Read it.
