Haitian Revolutionary Studies (Blacks in the Diaspora)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Haitian Revolution of 1789-1803 transformed the Caribbean's wealthiest colony into the first independent state in Latin America. In Haitian Revolutionary Studies, David Patrick Geggus sheds new light on this tremendous upheaval by marshaling an unprecedented range of evidence drawn from archival research in a half-dozen countries. Together with a narrative overview, Geggus's thirteen fine-grained essays explore central issues and little-studied aspects of the conflict including new historiography and sources, the origins of the black rebellion, relations between slaves and free people of color, international repercussions, and the naming of the new state.
