Only rarely, and in certain circumstances, were collective revolts for freedom even attempted, let alone successful. This book explores 15 inspiring slave revolts and rebellious action across the Atlantic World, from the early 16th century up to the American Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining the key causes and events of each case, \u003ci\u003eAtlantic History in 15 Slave Revolts\u003c\/i\u003e analyses what we know about the courageous men, women and children who took part and explores what they were fighting for. Discussing how the nature, strategies and tactics of slave revolts evolved as the Atlantic slave system also changed, it highlights the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 as a key turning point, showing that freedom was not a 'gift' given from above, but to be won through struggle from below. This book also explores how Atlantic slave revolts have been remembered and represented through memorialisation and film, showing how this rich legacy of collective resistance and revolt has inspired later generations of campaigners fighting colonialism and racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChristian Høgsbjerg\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Critical History and Politics at University of Brighton, UK.
