'In overthrowing me, you have done no more than cut down the trunk
of the tree of liberty - it will spring back from the roots, for
they are numerous and deep.' - Toussaint Louverture The leader of
the only successful slave revolt in history, Toussaint Louverture
is seen by many to be one of the greatest anti-imperialist fighters
who ever lived. Born into slavery on a Caribbean plantation, he was
able to break from his bondage to lead an army of freed African
slaves to victory against the professional armies of France, Spain
and Britain in the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804. In this
biography, Louverture's fascinating life is explored through the
prism of his radical politics. It champions this 'black
Robespierre' whose revolutionary legacy had inspired people and
movements in the two centuries since his death. For anyone
interested in the roots of modern-day resistance movements and
black political radicalism, Louverture's extraordinary life
provides the perfect starting point.
