Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, (1992) dj. Hardcover first edition - Winner of the 1991 Elliott Rudwick award. A discussion of three phases of slave resistance in the Anglo Americas. The first from the 1730s to the 1760s was usual sudden and violent and rooted in African ritual; the second from the late 1760s to the early 1800s involved plantation slaves who were conservative and wary, and the third from the 1760s through the first half of the 19th century was led by assimilated Blacks, artisans and drivers, who had developed skills both on and off teh plantations. The Southern Historian called this "A brilliant and provocative work of historical anthropology and a synthetic account of slavery that firmly places the subject in a comparative and longterm context... Mullin's three-part chronology of resistance and rebellion is attractive in its simplicity and flexibility." A title in the series 'Blacks in the New World.' Appendices, notes, bibliography, index. Illustrated with maps and pictures. 412 pp. ISBN: 0-252018893.
