{"product_id":"nannys-war-to-destroy-slavery-9781387926510","title":"Nanny's War to Destroy Slavery","description":"Male leaders of rebellious slaves, from Spartacus to Nat Turner, are well-known today. By comparison, female leaders of revolts against slavery are little known and forgotten. A remarkable African Jamaican woman ahead of her time, Nanny emerged as a spiritual, military, and political leader of the resistance effort against the forces of the British Empire during the first half of the eighteenth century, waging a relentless guerrilla war to destroy slavery during the First Maroon War. Most importantly, in overall historical terms, she played a key role in the war against slavery and in the liberation movement, before the rise of egalitarian sentiments that fuelled the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. She continued to defy British authority after male Maroon leaders on both sides of the island had signed treaties to end the First Maroon War. Tucker has presented an insightful and revealing new look at this remarkable African Jamaican leader, freedom fighter, and liberator named Nanny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phillip Thomas Tucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781387926510\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302393344115,"sku":"9781387926510","price":27.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_29f9db9e-b14b-4570-8897-63696fa5f3eb.jpg?v=1770900646","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/nannys-war-to-destroy-slavery-9781387926510","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
