520 "Lenora Warren tells a new story about the troubled
history of abolition and slave violence by examining
representations of shipboard mutiny and insurrection in
late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Anglo-
American and American literature. Fire on the Water
centers on five black sailors, whose experiences of
slavery and insurrection either inspired or found
resonance within fiction: Olaudah Equiano, Denmark Vesey,
Joseph Cinque, Madison Washington, and Washington Goode.
These stories of sailors, both real and fictional, reveal
how the history of mutiny and insurrection is both shaped
by, and resistant to, the prevailing abolitionist rhetoric
surrounding the efficacy of armed rebellion as a response
to slavery. Pairing well-known texts with lesser-known
figures (Billy Budd and Washington Goode) and well-known
figures with lesser-known texts (Denmark Vesey and the
work of John Howison), this book reveals the richness of
literary engagement with the politics of slave violence"--

520 "This book tells a new story about the troubled history of
abolition and slave violence by examining representations
of shipboard mutiny and insurrection in late eighteenth-
and early nineteenth-century Anglo-American and American
literature. The book centers on four black sailors, whose
experiences with slavery and insurrection either inspired
or found resonance within fiction. Through these sailors
and their fictional avatars, Warren argues that a lost
history of the politics of insurrection resurfaces. This
history has been either largely ignored or subsumed under
the generic political anxieties of the abolitionist
movement and widespread fears of a large-scale slave
revolt. These stories of sailors, both real and fictional,
reveal how the history of mutiny and insurrection is both
shaped by, and resistant to, the prevailing abolitionist
rhetoric surrounding the efficacy of armed rebellion as a
response to slavery. This book is a call to consider, or
reconsider, how the confluence of politics, language, and
narrative are complicit in shaping the ways in which we
think about race and violence. Using the backdrop of the
ocean to highlight both the expansive imaginary and the
perilous reality of undoing oppressive hierarchies through
mutiny, Fire On the Water challenges scholars to consider
how violence gets categorized as "revolutionary" or
"aberrant.""--|cProvided by publisher.
