282 Tacky's Revolt

Published: Sept. 8, 2020, 5 a.m.

Between 1760 and 1761, Great Britain witnessed one of the largest slave insurrections in the history of its empire. Although the revolt took place on the island of Jamaica, the reverberations of this revolt stretched across the Atlantic Ocean and into the British North American colonies.

Vincent Brown, the Charles Warren Professor of American History and a Professor of African American Studies at Harvard University, joins us to investigate Tacky\u2019s Revolt and how that revolt served as an eddy within the larger current of Atlantic warfare, with details from his book, Tacky\u2019s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War.
