Voices of Liberty argues that Black revolutionaries' fight for freedom directly challenged the ideological architects of British imperialism, whose narratives of liberty endeavored to silence Black people by defining abolitionism as a white enterprise. The book privileges the voices of Black people who rejected both chattel bondage and colonial authority in their radical pursuit of emancipation. In recounting the context, progress, and consequences of enslaved rebellions across the West Indies, Latin America, and Africa in the nineteenth century, Lewis Eliot spotlights the human struggles at the intersection of abolitionist and imperialist ideologies in the Atlantic world.

Lewis Eliot is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on race and slavery in the Atlantic world.
