In late October 1841, the Creole left Richmond with 137 slaves bound for New Orleans. It arrived five weeks later minus the Captain, one passenger, and most of the captives. Nineteen rebels had seized the US slave ship en route and steered it to the British Bahamas where the slaves gained their liberty. Drawing upon a sweeping array of previously unexamined state, federal, and British colonial sources, Rebellious Passage examines the neglected maritime dimensions of the extensive US slave trade and slave revolt. The focus on south-to-south self-emancipators at sea differs from the familiar narrative of south-to-north fugitive slaves over land. Moreover, a broader hemispheric framework of clashing slavery and antislavery empires replaces an emphasis on US antebellum sectional rivalry. Written with verve and commitment, Rebellious Passage chronicles the first comprehensive history of the ship revolt, its consequences, and its relevance to global modern slavery.

我們身處的現實，只認同特定的行為思想，覺得生性敏感是瑕疵，多愁善感是病態。人人只好在瘋狂的世界中假裝「正常」地生活，做個「正常人」。撕破表面的皮肉，全是扭曲的人心。弱肉強食，我們的社會根本與獸場無異；周旋於往往來來的人群中，卻無處安放孤獨的心。此書名帶「黑暗」，其實不過赤裸的人心真象。直面自己的黑暗面吧！當你接受了自己，你的靈魂便完整了。
