Abstract
Rogue Revolutionaries: The Fight for Legitimacy in the Greater Caribbean, by Vanessa Mongey
Highlights
Mongey does a careful job highlighting the uneven attitudes toward racial slavery and racially inclusive politics among most of the men who played leading roles in the histories covered, even as these men professed support for more egalitarian or democratic forms of governance
Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2020. xii + 143 pp. (Cloth US$45.00). This compact history traces a loosely related group of independence plots and small experiments in proto-republican governance that developed around the greater Caribbean in the 1790s and early 1800s
Vanessa Mongey presents each chapter with a thematic focus—for example, what factors allowed governments to be perceived as legitimate and accepted, the use of print culture to circulate political thought, and the place of ideas about racial equality within the republican visions of these lesser known conspirators in the greater Caribbean
Summary
Mongey does a careful job highlighting the uneven attitudes toward racial slavery and racially inclusive politics among most of the men who played leading roles in the histories covered, even as these men professed support for more egalitarian or democratic forms of governance.
