The Haitian Revolution Summary

The Haitian Revolution: A Documentary History by Edited and David Geggus

A landmark collection of documents by the field's leading scholar. This reader includes beautifully written introductions and a fascinating array of never-before-published primary documents. These treasures from the archives offer a new picture of colonial Saint-Domingue and the Haitian Revolution. The translations are lively and colorful. --Alyssa Sepinwall, California State University San Marcos

The Haitian Revolution Reviews

College instructors very much need a documentary collection on the Haitian Revolution such as this one. There is, for the moment, no such collection on the market, yet there is strong momentum among historians for the inclusion of the Haitian Revolution as a key event in understanding the Atlantic Age of Revolution... The selection of documents clearly reflects a deep knowledge of the available source materials... level of detail will be ideal for use in an upper division course or seminar on comparative revolutions, Latin America, Atlantic history, or slavery and abolition... will be useful to a wide range of undergraduate courses. -- Sue Peabody, Washington State University.
Not only the best source-book [on the topic] available in English, but also an excellent model of research and interpretation. Geggus' concise account of the Revolution is clear, efficient, and remarkably free of the usual mythologies, hagiographies, and demonizations, while his excellently selected documents outline the story very well on their own. . . . ideal for students who want to learn how the craft of recording history is practiced. --Madison Smartt Bell, Goucher College
This broad-ranging selection of primary-source documents about the Haitian Revolution, based on David Geggus' unmatched knowledge of the subject, is an important resource for both students and readers already familiar with the topic. Students will learn about the conditions that drove slaves and free people of color to revolt in 1791; even scholars in the field will discover new sources and new perspectives on familiar passages. --Jeremy D. Popkin, University of Kentucky
A phenomenal resource. . . [This book] provides a clear and compelling introductory essay and a wonderful array of revealing documents, many drawn from Geggus' own thorough research in multiple archives in Europe and the Americas. --Ada Ferrer, New York University
