A Secret Among the Blacks

Slave Resistance Before the Haitian Revolution

Beschreibung

John D. Garrigus provides a profound historical corrective, showing that enslaved Blacks in Saint-Domingue were hardly complacent before the Haitian Revolution. While scholars have looked beyond the islandâ s shores for the forces that inspired rebellion, Garrigus documents African resistance and political organizing decades before the 1791 revolt.
