In this important book, leading scholar Alex Dupuy provides a
critical reinterpretation of the Haitian Revolution and its
aftermath. Dupuy evaluates the French colonial context of
Saint-Domingue and then Haiti, the achievements and limitations of
the revolution, and the divisions in the Haitian ruling class that
blocked meaningful economic and political development. He
reconsiders the link between slavery and modern capitalism; refutes
the argument that Hegel derived his master-slave dialectic from the
Haitian Revolution; analyzes the consequences of new class and
color divisions after independence; and convincingly explains why
Haiti chose to pay an indemnity to France in return for its
recognition of Haiti's independence. In his sophisticated analysis
of race, class, and slavery, he provides a robust theoretical
framework for conceptualizing and understanding these major themes.
