In 1812 a series of revolts known collectively as the Aponte Rebellion erupted across the island of Cuba comprising one of the largest and most important slave insurrections in Caribbean history Matt Childs provides the first indepth analysis of the rebellion situating it in local colonial imperial and Atlantic World contexts Childs explains how slaves and free people of color responded to the nineteenthcentury sugar boom in the Spanish colony by planning a rebellion against racial slavery and plantation agriculture Striking alliances among free people of color and slaves blacks and mulattoes Africans and Creoles and rural and urban populations rebels were prompted to act by a widespread belief in rumors promising that emancipation was near Taking further inspiration from the 1791 Haitian Revolution rebels sought to destroy slavery in Cuba and perhaps even end Spanish rule By comparing his findings to studies of slave insurrections in Brazil Haiti the British Caribbean and the United States Childs places the rebellion within the wider story of Atlantic World revolution and political change The book also features a biographical table constructed by Childs of the more than 350 people investigated for their involvement in the rebellion 34 of whom were executed

By examining how ordinary Virginia citizens grappled with the vexing problem of slavery in a society dedicated to universal liberty Eva Sheppard Wolf broadens our understanding of such concepts as freedom slavery emancipation and race in the early years of the American republic She frames her study around the moment between slavery and liberty emancipation shedding new light on the complicated relations between whites and blacks in a slave society This wellinformed and carefully crafted book outlines important and heretofore rarely examined changes in whites views of blacks and liberty in the new nation Combining a study of manumission documents with an investigation of the shifting public discussions over slavery Race and Liberty in the New Nation demonstrates that the high point of antislavery sentiment in Virginia occurred during the 1830s and not the Revolutionary period At the same time it shows how white Virginians attitudes toward blacks hardened during the halfcentury that followed the declaration that all men are created equal
