The recognition that Africans in the Americas have also been
subjects of their destiny rather than merely passive objects of
European oppression represents one of the major shifts in
twentieth-century mainstream historiography. Yet even in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, slave narratives and
abolitionist tracts offered testimony to various ways in which
Africans struggled against slavery, from outright revolt to
day-to-day resistance. In the first decades of the twentieth
century, African American historians like Carter G. Woodson and
W.E.B. Du Bois started to articulate a vision of African American
history that emphasized survival and resistance rather than
victimization and oppression. This volume seeks to address these
and other issues in black liberation from interdisciplinary and
comparative perspectives, focusing on such issues as slave revolts,
day-to-day resistance, abolitionist movements, maroon societies,
the historiography of resistance, the literature of resistance,
black liberation movements in the twentieth century, and black
liberation and post colonial theory. The chapters span the
disciplines of history, literature, anthropology, folklore, film,
music, architecture, and art, drawing on the black experience of
liberation in the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
