This encyclopedia details how slaves struggled against their bondage, highlights key revolts, and delves into important cultural and religious ideas that nurtured slaves' hunger for freedom.

Reviews:
-"Editor Junius P. Rodriguez and his contributors fulfill an important purpose with the articles in this encyclopedia. By placing a focus on slave resistance and rebellion, they refute the notion that individuals who were turned into chattel property...lost their essential human nature to resist subjugation. And not only that, as one examines this work, it becomes obvious that the enslaved did so with all means that were possible. The articles discussing numerous forms of resistance attest to this....Encyclopedia of Slave Resistance and Rebellion does a significant service by bringing to the fore an aspect of slavery that deserves broader attention....Although intended for a scholarly audience, this work is equally appropriate for larger public libraries." —Against the Grain
-"This new guide to slavery exposes those traditions of resistance. Many of the 268 articles describe the fate of slave conspiracies, insurrections and rebellion leaders. Others explore the roles of religion, art, music, communication networks and other facets of slave culture in providing means of personal expression and resistance to the institution of slavery....[t]he representation of slavery in primary sources, historical scholarship, motion pictures and literature is examined in detail....A selection of 60 primary sources provides excellent examples of resistance.... [t]his groundbreaking encyclopedia will make an excellent addition to academic and public libraries." —Lawrence Looks at Books
