Why read it?
1 author picked The Resurrection of Nat Turner, Part I as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Until I read The Resurrection of Nat Turner, I considered myself a pacifist. I ended this novel and its sequel rooting for violent resistance and for Nat Turner, the man who led the most famous slave rebellion in American history, a man who was responsible for the deaths of women and children.
