An original reinterpretation of the Nat Turner revolt, The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood retells the story of how slave rebels challenged the slaveholders' authority in Southampton, Virginia. Paying careful attention to the dynamics among slaves and free, it reveals something surprising about both the fragility and power of slavery.
