- Summary:
- Challenging understandings of two centuries of Haitian history, Trouillot incisively analyses the pivotal role of Haitian ex-slave revolutionaries in the Revolution and War of Independence (1791-1804), a generation of people who became the founders of the modern Haitian state and advanced the vibrant culture that flourishes in Haiti. This book confronts Haiti's self-serving political culture and the racial mythologizing of historical figures such as Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Toussaint Louverture, André Rigaud and Alexandre Pétion.
