From the emergence of the first sugar plantations up until 1873,
when slavery was abolished, the wealth amassed by many landowners
in Puerto Rico derived mainly from the exploitation of slaves. But
slavery generated its antithesis: disobedience, conspiracies,
uprisings, and flight. ""Slave Revolts in Puerto Rico"" is a richly
documented volume dealing with these expressions of collective
resistance. The image of the docile and submissive slave presented
by the prevailing historiography until very recently is no longer
valid. Documents uncovered by Guillermo A. Baralt provide evidence
of over forty uprising attempts, which are detailed in this
fascinating book.
