Vincent Brown sure is a fantastic scholar. This book on Tacky's Revolt has helped me write a 14 page essay on how the slave revolts in Jamaica played a large role in ending slavery.
This was an excellent lecture. Being Jamaican the thing that surprised me coming to America as a child was the acceptance of the culture of racism, especially by people of African ancestry. In Jamaica we are told by family that we came from African tribes who were leaders and great warriors so we always fought against slavery. The spirit to speak up and rebel against everything that represented our oppression has been engraved in me by the Jamaican culture. I knew our connection to Africa and the richness of our ancestor's cultures. So much of Jamaican culture especially that of people of African ancestry comes form knowing about the rebels Queen Nanny, the Maroons, Tacky, Marcus Garvey. We never just accepted slavery as white media and movie like to tell it.

The speaker gave the reason for that.
There's a lot of propaganda here and not a lot of knowledge about the history of resistance here.
