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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. ","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62242276311427,"sku":"9780143123989","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780143123989.jpg?v=1785397825","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-amistad-rebellion-9780143123989","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
