3.0 out of 5 stars Decently written, poorly titled, July 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Natural Rebels: A Social History of Enslaved Women in Barbados (Paperback)
This is a good social history of slavery. The most prominent fault with this work is that it does not actually address the title's claim thoroughly: that women are natural rebels. In fact, all of the slaves exhibited rebellious behavior, and should be recognized for it. To highlight women as "natural rebels" seems to indicate that men were not. This is of course ridiculous. The author should have been more careful and clear with the title - instead it seems the author was grasping for dramatic effect.
