"The Great African Slave Revolt of 1825" offers a detailed examination of the sociopolitical and economic background of the Matanzas rebellion in Cuba, both locally and colonially. Based on extensive primary sources, particularly court records, the study provides a microhistorical analysis of the days that preceded this event, the uprising itself, and the days and months that followed. Barcia gives the Great African Revolt of 1825 its rightful place in the history of slavery in Cuba, the Caribbean, and the Americas.
