As a testament of the human will to freedom, the story of the Amistad mutineers also describes the wide arc of the international circuits of capital, commerce, juridical power, and diplomacy that structured and reproduced the Atlantic slave trade for nearly four centuries. In Rebellious Histories, Matthew J. Christensen argues that for creative artists struggling to comprehend?and survive?pernicious manifestations of globalization like Sierra Leone's civil war, the Amistad rebellion's narrative of exploitative resource extraction, transatlantic migrations, armed rebellion, and American judicial intervention offers both a historical antecedent and allegory for contemporary global capitalism's reconfiguration of culture and subjectivity. At the same time, he shows how the mutineers' example provides a model for imagining utopian forms of transnationalism. With its wide-ranging comparative approach, Rebellious Histories brings a unique perspective to the study of the cultural histories of both slave resistance and globalization. 606 $aSlave rebellions$zUnited States 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States 606 $aSierra Leonean literature 607 $aSierra Leone$xHistory 615 0$aSlave rebellions 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements 615 0$aSierra Leonean literature. 676 $a326/.80973 700 $aChristensen$b Matthew J$01682101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822537403321 996 $aRebellious histories$94051968 997 $aUNINA
