Twenty years after the publication of the first edition of this volume, Nat Turner and the rebels of 1831 remain central figures in American culture. Kenneth S. Greenberg’s revised introduction updates the role of Nat Turner in American memory and also includes the latest scholarship on topics such as  the importance of neighborhoods to the community of enslaved people and the role of women in resisting enslavement.  New to this edition is a significant excerpt from David Walker’s 1830 Appeal – a radical attack on slavery from a Boston based African American intellectual that circulated near the area of the rebellion and echoed key themes of The Confessions of Nat Turner. The Appeal will compel students to ponder the question of Turner’s connection to a larger African American liberation movement. This volume’s appendixes offer an updated Chronology, Questions for Consideration, and Selected Bibliography, tools that will serve to facilitate the use of this book in the classroom.

Features

New to This Edition

“This is an unusualy fine selection of documents, supplemented by judicious editorial commentary. It should prove invaluable for students at all levels and of considerable use to specialists as well.” –Eugene D. Genovese, University of Georgia

"Professor Greenberg has provided a polished and fascinating treatment of the topic…. Most praiseworthy is the way in which he deals with issues of evidence and interpretation in a very sophisticated yet fundamental way to make the whole question of documents and their uses a provocative adventure for the student/reader." –Catherine Clinton, The W.E.B. Dubois Institute, Harvard University
