Caribbean slave rebellions conjure images of muscular charismatic men leading armed rebels into conflict against European military forces and armed colonists. Rarely do such representations depict the roles that women (e.g., enslaved, marooned) played in such revolts as rebels, warriors, mothers, and leaders. Often these women are either portrayed as minor contributors, or their narratives have been marginalized or erased from these discourses. In this book, three slave revolts led by enslaved (and marooned) women are explored as narratives exhibiting the multiplicitous roles that such women played in dismantling the plantation slavery system in the Caribbean. The target audience for this book includes, but is not limited to, academic areas such as Cultural Anthropology, Women and Gender Studies, Black Atlantic Studies, African and Africana History, World History, Caribbean Studies, and Political Science. This book also appeals to lay persons with an interest in female led in St. John, Haiti, and Cuba.
