The slave's rebellion : literature, history, orature

Episodes of slave rebellions such as Nat Turner's are central to speculations on the trajectory of black history and the goal of black spiritual struggles. This book analyzes how writers reinterpret episodes of historical slave rebellion to conceptualize their understanding of an ideal 'master-less' future.
