Review: Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War, Vincent Brown (2020)
Written by Jamie Gemmell. One of the largest uprisings of enslaved people, “Tacky’s Revolt” saw over 500 enslaved men, women and children killed and many more recaptured. In his 2020 book, Vincent Brown, through a close examination of archival material, reframes the insurrection as a war in a greater Atlantic struggle.
