"Examines how slave revolts and other rebellions cycled around the Revolutionaty Atlantic (West Africa, the Carribean, N America, Europe). Shows how slaves, indentured servants, sailors, and other marginalized figures brought news of rebellions, as well as revolutionary strategies, to different spaces around the Atlantic. An excellent illustration of the Marxist concept of the cycle of struggles-- works as a kind of prologue to Hardt & Negri's arguments in EMPIRE and MULTITUDE."
"The neo-Marxist framework leads to some dubious interpretations and flattening-out of the complexities of identity due to the overwhelming emphasis on class above all else, but the writing is engaging and accessible, and Atlantic world history is just kind of fun to read anyway."
"Awesome and thrilling narration of an unknown part of our common history. People always use to cooperate and help each other and spread revolutionary ideas, against all odds, during the harshtime of slavery. Finally translated this year in French."
