Resistance Rebellion and Freedom From
Slavery
Copy link in description to download this
book
For over fifty years the Maroons of Dominica resisted being
enslaved, choosing instead to live free in the country's
mountainous interior. They dared to challenge the very system
of slavery and scores paid the ultimate price with their lives.
Their sacrifice, however, was not in vain. So dramatic were
their exploits, unparalleled bravery and sacrifice, that it stirred
the consciences of the British public, including William
Wilberforce and Granville Sharp, and helped focus attention on
slave conditions in the West Indies. Ultimately, the
mistreatment and suffering of the Maroons and those enslaved
in Dominica, would ignite the debate in Great Britain and prove
pivotal in putting an end to the slave trade and the abolition of
slavery in the British West Indies. The book succeeds in
painting a holistic struggle for freedom from slavery in
Dominica, and its impact on the rest of the British West Indies.
Carefully woven into the narrative is the influence of the
French Revolution, free people of colour, and the fight for
Independence in Haiti on the ultimate success of the Maroon
movement.
