| Résumé : |
The story of one of America's first civil rights battles. In 1839 fifty-three African slaves staged a bloody mutiny on board the Amistad, a Spanish slaver from Cuba. But their success was short-lived as the vessel was intercepted by the American navy, towed to New London Connecticut, where the slaves were held for deportation.
[A] novel on an African-American hero. In 1839 Joseph Cinque, also known as Singbe, leads a rising of African slaves on a Spanish slave ship. They kill most of the crew and order the navigator to steer for Africa, but he steers in the opposite direction and they are captured by the Americans. Abolitionists take up their cause, the Supreme Court rules they are free men and Cinque returns home covered in glory |
