Reviews
A must read for scholars and students. While this work focuses on Tacky's Revolt, the larger scope of the work connects and highlights the warfare that spread across the British Empire during the eighteenth century., This is a magnificent piece of historical scholarship. Just as the rebels found pathways up into the steep hills overlooking the plains where enslavers trembled and sugar cane burned, Tacky's Revolt finds new perspectives on resistance, warfare, culture-making, social death--and social life-after-death., A masterful interpretation of the roots and routes of revolutionary action and of the inevitable response of African-Jamaican men and women to the violence of the racist and brutal British imperial project which rendered slavery a perpetual state of war., Brown derives not only a story of the insurrection, but 'a martial geography of Atlantic slavery,' vividly demonstrating how warfare shaped every aspect of bondage...Forty years after Tacky's defeat, new arrivals from Africa were still hearing about the daring rebels who upended the island., Brown's brilliant analysis reveals how slave rebellions across the Americas depended upon experienced combatants captured in African conflicts and then sold to Europeans, refuting the canard that slave traders gathered their victims randomly. While tracing the relationships between African warfare and uprisings in the Americas, Brown offers beautifully written portraits of those who survived the crushing forces of colonial imperialism and fought for freedom. Above all else, this astute and comprehensive book is about agency ., A compelling account...By connecting the Jamaica insurgencies to larger intra-imperial wars, especially the War of Jenkin's Ear and the Seven Years' War, Tacky's Revolt makes slavery and the violence it produced inseparable from broader military conflicts...Impressively original and painstakingly researched., Brilliant . . . groundbreaking . . . Brown's profound analysis and revolutionary vision of the Age of Slave War--from the too-often overlooked Tacky's Revolt to the better-known Haitian Revolution--gives us an original view of the birth of modern freedom in the New World., In Tacky's Revolt , Vincent Brown has mapped an innovative history and geography linking power and resistance across Africa, America, and Europe. He demonstrates that slavery was--is--a state of war., [A] revealing history...Readers interested in the era will find much of value in this exhaustive portrait of the rebellion's origins and ramifications., Brilliant...groundbreaking...Brown's profound analysis and revolutionary vision of the Age of Slave War--from the too-often overlooked Tacky's Revolt to the better-known Haitian Revolution--gives us an original view of the birth of modern freedom in the New World., A phenomenally insightful and compelling book on both the brutality of British colonialism and the desire for freedom., Tacky's Revolt reveals a truly transatlantic eighteenth-century world of resistance and warfare. Reframing a story often told from the perspective of European colonizers and American planters, Brown successfully places African soldiers at the core of the narrative. A truly masterful piece., The men and women who took up arms to fight against their enslavement across Jamaica in 1760 have long needed a historian. In Vincent Brown's Tacky's Revolt they have received their due. Combining precision with attention to the big picture, Brown weaves together stories of alliances, solidarities, and divisions, from St. Mary's parish in the North of Jamaica, to the ships of the Atlantic ocean, to the forests of the Gold Coast. Brown's superb archival work and sensitive historical reconstruction enable us to rethink the participants in the revolt as soldiers engaged in a war; a war against the unending, pervasive everyday violence that was slavery itself., This lively, sophisticated book proves once and for all that Vincent Brown is one of the most creative historians writing anywhere in the world today about the African Diaspora. Tacky's Revolt is destined to become a classic in the rich treasury of works on the long, deep struggle against slavery from below., A sobering read for contemporary audiences in countries engaged in forever wars, reminding us how easily and arbitrarily the edges of empire, and its evils, can fade from or focus our vision. It is also a useful reminder that the distinction between victory and defeat, when it comes to insurgencies, is often fleeting: Tacky may have lost his battle, but the enslaved did eventually win the war., Adds a new dimension to the study of Atlantic history that centers African people and forces readers to reckon with the primacy of violence in the creation and sustenance of Atlantic networks of trade, migration, and empire. It will surely be widely used by scholars and students of the history of the Caribbean, Atlantic world, and African diaspora., In Tacky's Revolt, Vincent Brown has mapped an innovative history and geography linking power and resistance across Africa, America, and Europe. He demonstrates that slavery was--is--a state of war., Brown has produced the most detailed and insightful account to date of Tacky's Revolt. By framing it through the wide-angle lens of imperial, Diasporic, and Atlantic historical forces converging in Jamaica during the Seven Years' War and the zoom lens of colonial, local, parish and plantation dynamics, the reader gets a detailed and personalized account of how enslavement functioned as a deadly and destructive act of war, and, just as importantly, of how resistance to slavery required a creative war to imagine if a different world was (and remains) possible., In Tacky's Revolt Vincent Brown has mapped for us an innovative history and geography linking power and resistance across Africa, America and Europe. He demonstrates that slavery was/is a state of war and shows how Empire and diaspora created new fields of force, new conflicts, new terrors, new solidarities and belongings, whilst unleashing unfinished business., This lively, sophisticated book proves that Vincent Brown is one of the most creative historians writing anywhere in the world today about the African Diaspora. Tacky's Revolt is destined to become a classic work on the long, deep struggle against slavery from below., Brown's reframing of slavery as war allows us to better understand enslaved people as soldiers, diplomats, sailors, and community leaders dedicated to Black freedom (both then and now). Specifically, Brown's book shows how--within the broader war--enslaved men, women, and children defended themselves and even counterattacked...Will undoubtedly shape generations of scholarship to come., The problem of understanding slave revolts is not why they were relatively few compared to the obvious difficulties of slave life, but why they happened at all. Vincent Brown has successfully worked out this rebellion by treating it as if it were a war, waged by ex-soldiers, chafing at their imprisonment, and looking for an avenue for freedom. Brown's skillful linking of Tacky's War to its African and Jamaican roots is an important venture in reconstructing the African Disapora's past., Tacky's Revolt opens a window onto a truly transatlantic eighteenth century world of resistance and warfare. By peering into the African side of a story that has often been told from the point of view of European colonizers and American planters and authorities, Brown amply succeeds in placing African soldiers at the very core of the narrative. A truly masterful piece.

Synopsis
Tacky's revolt, in modern-day Jamaica, was the largest slave uprising in the eighteenth-century British Atlantic. A strikingly modern guerilla conflict, the revolt inspired both fear of and sympathy toward black lives. Vincent Brown offers a gripping account of the fighting and its reverberations across an interconnected world., A gripping account of the largest slave revolt in the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world, an uprising that laid bare the interconnectedness of Europe, Africa, and America, shook the foundations of empire, and reshaped ideas of race and popular belonging. In the second half of the eighteenth century, as European imperial conflicts extended the domain of capitalist agriculture, warring African factions fed their captives to the transatlantic slave trade while masters struggled continuously to keep their restive slaves under the yoke. In this contentious atmosphere, a movement of enslaved West Africans in Jamaica (then called Coromantees) organized to throw off that yoke by violence. Their uprising--which became known as Tacky's Revolt--featured a style of fighting increasingly familiar today: scattered militias opposing great powers, with fighters hard to distinguish from noncombatants. It was also part of a more extended borderless conflict that spread from Africa to the Americas and across the island. Even after it was put down, the insurgency rumbled throughout the British Empire at a time when slavery seemed the dependable bedrock of its dominion. That certitude would never be the same, nor would the views of black lives, which came to inspire both more fear and more sympathy than before. Tracing the roots, routes, and reverberations of this event across disparate parts of the Atlantic world, Vincent Brown offers us a superb geopolitical thriller. T acky's R evolt expands our understanding of the relationship between European, African, and American history, as it speaks to our understanding of wars of terror today., Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Winner of the Frederick Douglass Book Prize Winner of the Elsa Goveia Book Prize Winner of the James A. Rawley Prize in the History of Race Relations Winner of the P. Sterling Stuckey Book Prize Winner of the Harriet Tubman Prize Winner of the Phillis Wheatley Book Award Finalist for the Cundill Prize A gripping account of the largest slave revolt in the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world, an uprising that laid bare the interconnectedness of Europe, Africa, and America, shook the foundations of empire, and reshaped ideas of race and popular belonging.
