摘要

This essay considers how literacy, specifically reading, facilitated slave rebellion in Jamaica in the age of revolutions. During the 1831-1832 slave uprising, Samuel Sharpe, a literate, enslaved Baptist preacher used literacy to advance his sense of freedom and organise a non-violent labour strike. This essay provides an overview of Christian instruction among blacks prior to emancipation in Jamaica and contextualises the role that reading played in Sharpe's insurgent activity. It closes with a reading of fictional representations of Sharpe's literacy, including Carey Robinson's radio drama about Sharpe, broadcast on 23 May 1971, and Fred Kennedy's fictionalised autobiography, Daddy Sharpe: A narrative of the life and adventures of Samuel Sharpe, A West Indian slave written by himself, 1832. On the eve of emancipation, literacy among blacks inspired resistance to dehumanisation.
