Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the intricate history of French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) as seen through the eyes of those living during a turbulent period of the colony's history. By analyzing the actions, motivations, and biases of the French government representatives sent to stabilize the colony and the subsequent responses from the French colonists and formerly enslaved population, the author argues the French Revolution's ideals failed to take root because of incompatible interpretations of freedom, justice, and equality. Through extensive archival research, the author reconstructs the perspectives of French civilians, Black and mixed-race leaders, and the French government to shed light on how Saint-Domingue became Haiti and why its revolution succeeded where others failed. A key and complex chapter in the broader history of the Caribbean, Atlantic World, and French colonialism, the Haitian Revolution transformed the global political landscape and resonated in the United States during its own struggle for independence.
