Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War by Vincent Brown

4.75

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative reflective tense medium-paced

---

An engaging history not of a single slave revolt, but a series of revolts and a broader social, political, and economy history. The book not only argues for the importance of a wide-eanging view of transcontinental histories but also makes efforts to actively de-center individual hagiographies and rebut reactionary pro-slaver historical narratives.
