Abstract
Atlantic Creoles in the Age of Revolutions is an eye-opening history of this less-studied region, and lesser-known leaders and groups in “a period of racial, economic, social, and political change across the Atlantic world.” Landers exposes the movements, activities, and influence of Black individuals, families, and communities from the revolutionary battles between Americans and British in Charleston to the slave uprisings in Saint Domingue, the “Indian wars” along the southeastern United States, and the slave revolts of Havana and Matanzas in the first half of the nineteenth century.
