Mutiny on the Amistad
''Mutiny on the Amistad: The Saga of a Slave Revolt and Its Impact on American Abolition, Law, and Diplomacy'' (1987) is a history of a notable slave mutiny of 1839 and its aftermath, written by professor Howard Jones.
The book explores the events surrounding the slave mutiny on the Spanish schooner ''Amistad'' in 1839. The ship was taken into United States custody off the south coast of Long Island, New York. The book discusses the roles and international dynamics of the case, involving Spain, England, and the United States as they related to the 19th-century slave trade. It examines ''United States v. The Amistad Africans'' 40 U.S. (15 Pet.) 518 (1841), the United States Supreme Court case that adjudicated the property issues and ultimately the fate of the Mende people who were held captive on ''Amistad'' and the ownership of the vessel.
==Reception==
The book was written by Howard Jones, a historian at the University of Alabama, and published in New York by Oxford University Press.
In his review published in ''Civil War History,'' Dudley T. Cornish noted that in 1965, the historian Samuel Eliot Morison described the ''Amistad'' case of 1839 as "the most famous involving slavery," until it was "eclipsed by the Dred Scott decision."〔(Dudley T. Cornish, ''Mutiny on the Amistad: The Saga of a Slave Revolt and Its Impact on American Abolition, Law, and Diplomacy'' (review) ), ''Civil War History'', Volume 34, Number 1, March 1988, pp. 79-80, Project Muse 10.1353/cwh.1988.0011, accessed 30 March 2013〕 Cornish wrote that Jones' work was "a careful, comprehensive study" that should make it easy to restore references to the case in textbooks, where it had been overlooked in the prior decade.〔
