029 Slave rebellions
Manage episode 343140828 series 2902610
Resistance by enslaved Africans before and after the Declaration of Independence played a critical role in the origins of the US. Historian Gerald Horne joins us to discuss the fierce and persistent fight for abolition in the mainland slave colonies of the US.
We will look at three of Professor Horne's books on the topic. The Apocalypse of Settler-Colonialism: The roots of slavery, white supremacy, and capitalism in 17th-century North America and the Caribbean; The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave resistance and the origins of the United States of America; and Negro Comrades of the Crown: African Americans and the British Empire fight the US before emancipation.
This episode builds on our previous show 028 with Marcus Rediker on the slave ship and the story of resistance across the Middle Passage.
