Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The great strength of this work—aside from Mr. Rediker’s vivid style as a writer and meticulous research—is that he brings the Amistad Africans back to center stage.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Gripping.” —Nation
“Spectacularly researched and fluidly composed, this latest study offers some much needed perspective on a critical yet oft-overlooked event in America’s history. ” —Publishers Weekly
“A totally enthralling account of the Amistad rebellion and its place in the broader American story of revolt against a great threat to liberty.” —Booklist (starred review)
“As history from below, this is a fine addition to studies of the Amistad rebellion. Recommended for anyone interested in African American history, the history of slavery, and American history.” —Library Journal
“A first-rate example of history told from the bottom up.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
