This book examines Caribbean people resisting racial political and social oppression from the eve of the 1790s Haitian Revolution to the twenty-first century. Migrating rebels shipments of newspapers rumors and acts of resistance themselves inspired people throughout the Caribbean who launched their own acts of defiance illustrating the transnational nature of Caribbean resistance. Some people fought to be left alone ungovernable and masterless. Other people fought to free their ethnicity or race their class or their nation. Men and women employed a range of tactics from violent armed uprisings to fleeing repression and starting their own communities. Through song language religion and festivals they maintained cultures and identities against oppressive norms that devalued or sought to destroy those cultures and identities. People declared strikes and riots against economic oppression. Women and mothers mobilized for their and their children's freedoms. Across the Caribbean people confronted oppression and in so doing illustrated their humanity and agency.
