The 1812 Aponte Rebellion in Cuba and the Struggle Against Atlantic Slavery

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. This title provides an analysis of the rebellion, situating it in local, colonial, imperial, and Atlantic World contexts.

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.
