In 1812, a series of revolts known collectively as the Aponte
Rebellion erupted across the island of Cuba, comprising one of the
largest and most important slave insurrections in Caribbean
history. Matt Childs provides the first in-depth analysis of the
rebellion, situating it in local, colonial, imperial, and Atlantic
World contexts. Childs explains how slaves and free people of color
responded to the nineteenth-century ""sugar boom"" in the Spanish
colony by planning a rebellion against racial slavery and
plantation agriculture. Striking alliances among free people of
color and slaves, blacks and mulattoes, Africans and Creoles, and
rural and urban populations, rebels were prompted to act by a
widespread belief in rumors promising that emancipation was near.
Taking further inspiration from the 1791 Haitian Revolution, rebels
sought to destroy slavery in Cuba and perhaps even end Spanish
rule. By comparing his findings to studies of slave insurrections
in Brazil, Haiti, the British Caribbean, and the United States,
Childs places the rebellion within the wider story of Atlantic
World revolution and political change. The book also features a
biographical table, constructed by Childs, of the more than 350
people investigated for their involvement in the rebellion, 34 of
whom were executed.
