Synopsis
Joseph Cinqué is afraid he’ll never see his family again. Kidnapped by slave traders and sold at auction, he finds himself chained in the hull of a cramped ship, Amistad, with more than fifty other Africans--including a few children. Cinqué must do something. But what? In this truly epic adventure, Joseph Cinqué wants only one thing: freedom. But what he achieves, with the help of former president John Quincy Adams, is far, far greater--Joseph Cinqué makes history.

About the Author
No Bio
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?The story of Joseph Cinque, leader of the African mutineers who seized the Amistad in 1839, is the focus of Chambers's dramatic picture-book narrative. By eliminating the many details of the frustrating two-year legal history of the Amistad case, and the many complex issues of states' rights and Cuban-American relations discussed in the courts, the role of Cinque takes on heroic and legendary status. Brief mention is made of the support of the abolitionists and the important participation of John Quincy Adams in arguing the case before the Supreme Court, but Cinque's bravery and inspirational leadership are the heart of the book. His speeches and feelings are the only elements of fiction in this story from history, for he was indeed a celebrity in the public eye and certainly the leader of the Africans seeking justice. The figures of the man and his followers are heroic in size in Lee's action-filled acrylic paintings. The dark tones and earth colors dramatize the violence, despair, and patient nobility of the Africans as they fight for freedom and the right to return to their homeland and are forced to wait through many months in a New England town. Amistad Rising serves well as an introduction to this chapter in American history. The brevity of facts and the poetic quality of emotional description make the book a fine read-aloud choice.?Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ
