Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Exploits of Three-Finger’d Jack (1801) is a book by William Burdett. Inspired by tales of legendary slave-turned-rebel Jack Mansong, as well as by a popular pantomime based on Jack’s life, Burdett published his book to popular acclaim in England. In late eighteenth-century Jamaica, a runaway slave named Jack “Three-Fingered Jack” Mansong defied British law to establish a community of runaways in the densely forested Blue Mountains of what is now Sant Thomas Parish. Because his actions violated a controversial treaty between the Jamaican Maroons and the colonial authority, Jack and his comrades faced persecution from both groups. Knowing that his only choice was between freedom or death, Jack fought valiantly to the bitter end. In Burdett’s version of events, Jack’s story begins in Africa, where he goes by the name Mansong. Stolen into slavery and taken to the Caribbean, the war hero prepares to make his break for the mountains. The Life and Exploits of Three-Finger’d Jack also features a romantic subplot between the planter’s daughter Rosa and Captain Orford, an Englishman newly arrived in Jamaica. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Burdett’s The Life and Exploits of Three-Finger’d Jack is a classic of British-Jamaican literature reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fugitive slave known as “Three-Fingered Jack” terrorized colonial Jamaica from 1780 until vanquished by Maroons, self-emancipated Afro-Jamaicans bound by treaty to police the island for runaways and rebels. A thief and a killer, Jack was also a freedom fighter who sabotaged the colonial machine until his grisly death at its behest. Narratives about his exploits shed light on the problems of black rebellion and solutions administered by the colonial state, creating an occasion to consider counter-narratives about its methods of divide and conquer. For more than two centuries, writers, performers, and storytellers in England, Jamaica, and the United States have “thieved" Three Fingered Jack's riveting tale, defining black agency through and against representations of his resistance. Frances R. Botkin offers a literary and cultural history that explores the persistence of stories about this black rebel, his contributions to constructions of black masculinity in the Atlantic world, and his legacies in Jamaican and United States popular culture.
