商品描述

Jeff Strickland tells the powerful story of Nicholas Kelly, the enslaved craftsman who led the Charleston Workhouse Slave Rebellion, the largest slave revolt in the history of the antebellum American South. With two accomplices, some sledgehammers, and pickaxes, Nicholas risked his life and helped thirty-six fellow enslaved people escape the workhouse where they had been sent by their enslavers to be tortured. While Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser, and Denmark Vesey remain the most recognizable rebels, the pivotal role of Nicholas Kelly is often forgotten. All for Liberty centers his rebellion as a decisive moment leading up to the secession of South Carolina from the United States in 1861. This compelling micro-history navigates between Nicholas's story and the Age of Atlantic Revolutions, while also considering the parallels between race and incarceration in the nineteenth century and in modern America. Never before has the story of Nicholas Kelly been so eloquently told.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

傑夫·斯特里克蘭(Jeff Strickland)講述了尼古拉斯·凱利(Nicholas Kelly)的強大故事,他是一位被奴役的工匠,領導了查爾斯頓工作所奴隸叛亂,這是美國南方內戰前歷史上最大的奴隸叛亂。尼古拉斯與兩名同夥、一些大錘和撬棍一起,冒著生命危險,幫助三十六名被奴役的人逃離他們被奴役者送往的工作所,該工作所是他們遭受折磨的地方。雖然納特·特納(Nat Turner)、加布里埃爾·普羅瑟(Gabriel Prosser)和丹麥·維西(Denmark Vesey)仍然是最知名的叛亂者,但尼古拉斯·凱利的關鍵角色卻常常被遺忘。《為了自由》(All for Liberty)將他的叛亂視為1861年南卡羅來納州脫離美國的決定性時刻。這部引人入勝的微觀歷史在尼古拉斯的故事和大西洋革命時代之間穿梭,同時考慮到十九世紀與現代美國之間種族和監禁的相似之處。尼古拉斯·凱利的故事從未如此生動地被講述過。
