Using newly discovered evidence and featuring vividly drawn portraits of the rebels, their captors, and their abolitionist allies, Rediker reframes the story to show how a small group of courageous men fought and won an epic battle against Spanish and American slaveholders and their governments. The successful \u003ci\u003eAmistad\u003c\/i\u003e rebellion changed the very nature of the struggle against slavery. As a handful of self-emancipated Africans steered their own course for freedom, they opened a way for millions to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition includes a new epilogue about the author's trip to Sierra Leona to  search for Lomboko, the slave-trading factory where the \u003ci\u003eAmistad\u003c\/i\u003e Africans were incarcerated\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e and other relics and connections to the \u003ci\u003eAmistad\u003c\/i\u003e rebellion, especially living local memory of the uprising and the people who made it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010725527792,"sku":"9780143123989","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143123989_p0.jpg?v=1763657173","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143123989","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
