A study of the Maroon Wars and the many slave rebellions and revolts in Jamaica. Richard Hart seeks to avoid polemics and emphasizes that the Jamaican rebels forced the British government to reset the agenda for emancipation and the slaves gained their freedom sooner than anticipated.
"Mr. Hart's intentions are honest and intellectually sound." - Hilary Beckles, Caribbean Contact "Richard Hart is one of the Caribbean's great popular historians. [This work] has the hallmarks of genuine people's history: detailed scholarship, historical truth, a working-class perspective and infectious readability." - Chris Searle, Morningstar
