The Creole Mutiny: A Tale of Revolt Aboard a Slave Ship

Rating:
Summary: Pieces from different sources are brought together
Review: George Hendrick and Willene Hendrick's THE CREOLE MUTINY may prove of interest to a narrower audience of students of Afro-American and regional American history, but it's no less powerful for its coverage. Here is a story of revolt aboard a slave ship in 1841: one which led to British authorities offering freedom to the slaves who took over their captors and sailed into Nassau. Little has been written about this revolt because little has been known of it: pieces from different sources are brought together to fill in the gaps, here.
