Blood on the River: A Chronicle of Mutiny and Freedom on the Wild Coast

Marjoleine Kars (NEH, 2018-19)

Blood on the River provides a rare in-depth look at the political vision of enslaved people at the dawn of the Age of Revolution and introduces us to a set of real characters, vividly drawn against the exotic tableau of a riverine world of plantations, rainforest, and Carib allies who controlled a vast South American hinterland.
