Summary

A Kirkus Reviews “New and Notable Title”, November 2012

A 2012 Booklist Editors’ Choice Selection for Nonfiction: Social Science

Noted historian Marcus Rediker has earned numerous awards for his work, including the sought-after George Washington Book Prize. In The Amistad Rebellion, he turns his attention to the famed slave ship that set sail from Havana in 1839. Painstakingly researched, Rediker's account follows the slaves' point of view, from the joyous moments after they seized the ship through the harrowing court case that would become a touchstone in the struggle for civil rights.

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)
