Description

Michele Reid-Vazquez reveals the untold story of the strategies of negotiation used by free blacks in the aftermath of the "Year of the Lash", a wave of repression in Cuba that had great implications for the Atlantic World in the next two decades. At dawn on June 29, 1844, a firing squad in Havana executed ten accused ringleaders of the Conspiracy of La Escalera, an alleged plot to abolish slavery and colonial rule in Cuba. The condemned men represented prominent members of Cuba's free community of African descent, including the acclaimed poet Placido (Gabriel de la Concepcion Valdes). This significant historical account examines the complex negotiations and resistance strategies employed by free people of color during this turbulent period in Atlantic history.

Key Features

The Year of the Lash explores the Conspiracy of La Escalera and its impact on Cuba's free community of African descent during the nineteenth century.

Michele Reid-Vazquez documents the execution of ten accused conspirators on June 29, 1844, including prominent poet Placido and other leaders from Cuba's free black population.

This University of Georgia Press publication provides scholarly analysis of negotiation strategies used by free blacks in response to colonial repression in the Atlantic World.

The book examines social and cultural history of early modern Americas, offering new perspectives on slavery, freedom, and resistance in the Caribbean region.
