Obi; or, The History of Three-Fingered Jack (Broadview Edition)
"This truly innovative edition of a compelling novel about eighteenth-century slave rebellions in Jamaica provides a valuable and necessary context for the complicated politics of obeah. Aravamudan's introduction attends to the ways in which obeah is an epistemological model competing with Enlightenment reason, and demonstrates with meticulous detail how it functions as a form of resistant cultural, political, religious, and medical knowledge. The appendices complement Aravamudan's frame for the novel, making this edition one that will appeal equally to general readers and scholars of post-colonial studies." (Rajani Sudan)
