Fight for Freedom

Although there has been a number of studies on black resistance,
very few of these have focused exclusively on such a wide range of
resistance campaigns and strategies within a single volume. One of the
central arguments of this study is that from as early as the sixteenth
century, when Europeans attempted to systematically exploit Africans,
black people have engaged in a variety of organised and sustained
resistance campaigns to assert their independence and identity.

This
book examines some of the different strategies employed by black people
in Africa and the Diaspora in response to European domination and
exploitation. Drawing upon research from scholars based at the
University of Cape Coast in Ghana and the University of the West Indies,
Jamaica, this collection of original essays covers the academic
disciplines of African and Caribbean history, literature, politics and
psychology.
