Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, and many lesser-known leaders of slave rebellions are featured in this historical tribute; photographs, drawings, a timeline and a bibliography round out the volume. Ages 8-14. (Feb.)
The ALAN Review
"Arise! Arise! Shake off your chains!" Twenty-four-year-old slave Gabriel Prosser, "armed with literacy and a gift for speaking," encouraged other slaves to rise up against their masters and to fight for freedom. Prosser was one of many slaves who instigated revolts during the 300+ years of chattel slavery in the Americas. The stories of abolitionists have oft been told, but not so the stories of the leaders of slave revolts: their stories have been ignored, sometimes deliberately concealed, by historians. Familiar leaders, such as Nat Turner, and unfamiliar ones, such as Toussaint Louverture, appear in this historic look at the role slaves played in their battle to abolish slavery. Carefully researched and well-written - and sometimes painfully detailed in its depiction of the resulting violence - Rebels Against Slavery: American Slave Revolts provides a supplement to our history books, which fail to tell the whole story of the emancipation of the Africans who had been brought to this country as slaves.
Children's Literature
"Slavery is as old as recorded history and so are slave rebellions." So begins the introduction to this fascinating history of the resistance to slavery in North America. We learn of rebels known and unknown, lauded and unsung. Some of the names are familiar: Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, John Brown. Others are less well known, but their stories are no less compelling: in Haiti, Toussaint Louverture; in South Carolina, Denmark Vesey; in Virginia, Gabriel Prosser and his brothers. Perhaps most arresting of all, on the high seas aboard the slave ship Armistad and then in the courtroom, there is the man known as Cinque, who brought to his struggle the dignity and courage of his Mende upbringing. The stories of all these people, and so many more (Maroon and Seminole, abolitionist and Quaker) are told in clear and riveting narrative. A bibliography, index and chronology are useful additions.
School Library Journal
Gr 6 Up-The McKissacks explore slave revolts and the men and women who led them, weaving a tale of courage and defiance in the face of tremendous odds. Readers learn not only about Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey, but also about Cato, Gabriel Prosser, the maroons, and the relationship between escaped slaves and Seminole Indians. The activities of abolitionists are described as well. The authors' careful research, sensitivity, and evenhanded style reveal a sad, yet inspiring story of the will to be free. Black-and-white reproductions of paintings, drawings, and documents appear throughout. A fine contribution to a growing body of literature about the African American experience.Carol Jones Collins, Montclair Kimberley Academy, NJ
Ilene Cooper
The McKissacks present a fascinating cast: the men and women who led slave revolts in the Americas. Among those introduced are Toussaint-Louverture, a skillful general who led a revolt in Haiti; Gabriel Prosser, a Virginia slave who was inspired by Toussaint-Louverture; and Cinque, who gave captured Africans a face and a name, as well as more familiar names, such as Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner. There is also information about day-to-day resistance and alliances between African and Native Americans, especially those between runaway slaves and the Seminole tribe in Florida. Acknowledgment is given to the white people, especially the Quakers and Methodists, who helped the cause of abolition, but the McKissacks make it clear that numerous blacks, known and unknown to history, took their fate into their own hands by securing their freedom and rescuing others. The writing itself is informative, though occasionally garbled; sometimes it's hard to know to what a pronoun refers. To be illustrated with black-and-white photographs.
