More about the book

In nineteenth-century Santiago de Cuba, Afro-descendant peasants forged freedom and devised their own formative path to emancipation. Long before calls for national independence and emancipation in 1868, they wore down the institution of slavery through litigation and self-purchase. A rich, much- needed examination of Cuban history.
