Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is an accurate and gripping account of the key moments in the history of the French Colony of Saint-Domingue up until just prior to the end of the French Revolution. The author was a member of the French legislature and a partisan of the exiled colonists. His account has a strong anti-revolutionary and anti-abolitionist perspective but offers a lot of insight into the motivations of both sides of the violent conflict that would lead to the end of French control over Haiti. The author advocates for French intervention to reassert colonial rule over the island while also offering measures to promote racial equality and better treatment of the colony's enslaved population. He believed that only a strong French presence and military force would bring an end to the violence, and that a return to something like the status quo ante bellum was both possible and desirable. The book offers an especially timely and relevant case study of the dangers of colonial policies based on racist exploitation, and the ways in which the rhetoric of revolution can be turned against the voiceless and vulnerable. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
