Sinopsis

Slave Revolts examines significant uprisings across the Americas, revealing enslaved people's active resistance against the brutal system of slavery. Going beyond portraying them as passive victims, the book highlights their agency in fighting for freedom and influencing abolitionist movements. It delves into the causes, leaders, and lasting impacts of these revolts on societies built upon forced labor, emphasizing the inherent instability within slave societies. For example, the Haitian Revolution demonstrated the potential for enslaved people to overthrow their oppressors and establish an independent nation.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the foundations of slavery and resistance, before analyzing key revolts like the Stono and Demerara Rebellions. Each case study explores the unique triggers, leadership, and consequences of each revolt, ultimately emphasizing their cumulative impact on abolitionist sentiments, political action, and the dismantling of slavery. It draws upon diverse sources, including firsthand accounts and legal records, to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play, including the transnational spread of rebellious ideas.

The History and Legacy of the...

Editors Charles River

The pages of world history textbooks contain a litany of “lost” empires and civilizations, but usually, upon further review, it is revealed that these so called lost empires are often just lesser known cultures that had a less apparent impact on history than other more well-known civilizations. When one scours the pages of history for a civilization that was inexplicably lost, but had a great impact during its time, very few candidates can be found, but the Hittites are a notable example. Compared to some of their contemporaries – including the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians – the Hittites were somewhat distant both culturally and geographically. The Hittites were an Indo-European speaking in an ocean of Afro-Asiatic and Semitic groups, their homeland was to the north of Mesopotamia, and it contained no major river like the Nile, Tigris, or Euphrates Rivers. The Hittite empire was also far less enduring than its neighbors, as it only existed from about 1800-1200 BCE (van de Mieroop 2007, 156), which was considerably shorter than most of the other major kingdoms of the Near East. 
Of all the peoples of the ancient Near East, the Phoenicians are among the most recognizable but also perhaps the least understood. The Phoenicians never built an empire like the Egyptians and Assyrians; in fact, the Phoenicians never created a unified Phoenician state but instead existed as independent city-state kingdoms scattered throughout the Mediterranean region. However, despite the fact there was never a “Phoenician Empire,” the Phoenicians proved to be more prolific in their exploration and colonization than any other peoples in world history until the Spanish during the Age of Discovery.

Identity and Violence - The...

Amartya Sen

"One of the few world intellectuals on whom we may rely to make sense out of our existential confusion." —Nadine Gordimer 
 
 
 
In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.
