The Slumbering Volcano - American Slave Ship Revolts and the Production of Rebellious Masculinity

"Sale combines an impressive array of historical material with keen analytic skills, an attention to the larger picture with a sensitivity to the nuances of language and rhetoric. The result is an original reading of how and why enslaved people were unable to tell their own stories."--Priscilla Wald, University of Washington
