In January 1804, the once wealthy colony of Saint-Domingue
declared its independence from France and adopted the Amerindian
name "Haiti." Independence was the outcome of the extraordinary
uprising of the colony's slaves. Although a central event in the
history of the French in the New World, the full significance of
the revolution has yet to be realized. These essays deepen our
understanding of Haiti during the period from 1791 to 1815. They
consider the colony's history and material culture; its "free
people of color"; the events leading up to the revolution and its
violent unfolding; the political and economic fallout from the
revolution; and its cultural representations.
