I think this book is relevant for those interested in USA History. I never heard about this revolution before, as a non-American and someone who also did not pursue history/humanities. So, for me, everything was new, but from other reviews, i can gather that this is new also for people from the US / who know about this piece of History, because this book talks about the perspective of children, women and free Black people in this revolution - what they lived before, during and after. 

The Southampton Revolution started August 21st 1831, so we’re right now on its 190th anniversary.

This is quite an academic text, but understandable to non-academics, although it remains a very dense read and slow-paced.
