Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the seismic events leading to the French Revolution in the colony of Saint-Domingue. It begins with the island's origins, the demographics of its indigenous TaÃno population, the arrival of African slaves, and the rise of French plantation society there. The book challenges the popular narrative that the French slave trade was wholly cruel and dehumanizing by presenting evidence of amelioration and legal protections for slaves that were unique to Saint Domingue. The author also discusses the prejudices against mixed race people in the colony and how those tensions contributed to the unrest and violence that eventually engulfed the island. Ultimately, this book is a comprehensive historical account of the factors that contributed to the Haitian Revolution, which remains one of the most important events in modern history.
