Abstract
The Tortola Conspiracy is an occluded and inspirational moment of antislavery resistance and an important addition to the annals of black resistance. We argue that the event also provides a rich terrain in which to unpack a variety of questions about the interconnections of racialized capitalism from above and from below.
