Actes du colloque international de Limoges, 30 septembre-1er octobre 2004.L'année 2004 a été marquée par le deux-centième anniversaire de la proclamation de l'indépendance d'Haïti, " première république noire " du Nouveau Monde, par Jean-Jacques Dessalines. La liberté acquise par les esclaves révoltés est un événement majeur du XIXe siècle naissant, dont les conséquences intéressent la plupart des sciences humaines. Les actes ici rassemblés s'interrogent sur la manière dont l'héritage de la révolution haïtienne se manifeste dans les différents aspects de la culture. Ne l'oublions jamais, la naissance d'Haïti transforme l'affirmation formelle de la Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen en une réalité, conquise durement. L'événement servira longtemps d'épouvantail - en particulier dans les îles à sucre du domaine colonial français - et continuera tout au long du siècle à être présent dans l'histoire nationale et régionale de la France où les " réfugiés " de Saint-Domingue sont nombreux. L'" oubli " d'Haïti dans l'historiographie française sera sans doute l'une des conséquences indirectes de la conquête du nouvel empire colonial... Mais la libération des esclaves de l'ancienne Saint Domingue pose aussi le problème de l'anthropologie haïtienne. Autrement dit, là " mémoire ", la construction culturelle de la libération est un point de départ évidemment essentiel pour comprendre la société haïtienne y compris dans ses aspects les plus récents. La littérature pose également la question du rôle des écrivains dans la construction des mythes culturels que ce soit par le biais de la littérature française (Hugo, avec Bug-Jargal, pour la littérature prestigieuse ; Rebell avec Les Nuits chaudes du Cap Français, pour celle de second rayon), des innombrables récits de voyage, ou par celui de la littérature produite par les Haïtiens aussi bien que par l'élaboration, en Afrique, d'une Haïti mythique, écho inversé et diffracté de l'Afrique mythique de l'imaginaire haïtien.Voir aussi : MLPO 26159.

Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743-1803) won international renown in the Haitian fight for independence. He led thousands of former slaves into battle against French, Spanish, and English forces, routing the Europeans and seizing control of the entire island of Hispaniola. L'Ouverture became governor and commander-in-chief of Haiti before officially acknowledging French rule in 1801, when he submitted a newly written constitution to Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) and the French legislature for ratification. In response, Bonaparte sent an army to depose L'Ouverture, who was taken prisoner in June of 1

Here is an annotated, scholarly, multilingual edition of the only lengthy text personally written by Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture: the memoirs he wrote shortly before his death in the French prison of Fort de Joux. The translation is based on an original copy in Louverture's hand never before published. Historian Philippe Girard begins with an introductory essay that retraces Louverture's career as a slave, rebel, and governor. Girard provides a detailed narrative of the last year of Louverture's life, and analyzes the significance of the memoirs and letters from a historical and

Toussaint Louverture (c1743-1803) was the heroic leading figure in the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, the only successful slave revolt in recorded history, and he remains an international inspiration, seen by many to be one of the greatest anti-imperialist fighters who ever lived. Toussaint was a military genius who led an army composed overwhelmingly of former enslaved Africans and people of African descent to victory after victory under the banner Liberty or Death over the professional armies of France, Spain and Britain, before paying the ultimate price himself for refusing to compromise with imperial power at the expense of the maintenance of liberty for all. This new political biography of Toussaint aims to provide readers with an accessible yet scholarly introduction to his complex life while critically analysing Toussaint's political thought, his contribution as a revolutionary leader, and his legacy for both Haiti and the wider world.

In Tropicopolitans, Srinivas Aravamudan reconstructs the colonial imagination of the eighteenth century. By exploring representations of peoples and cultures subjected to colonial discourse, he makes a case for the agency--or the capacity to resist domination--of those oppressed. Aravamudan's analysis of texts that accompanied European commercial and imperial expansion from the Glorious Revolution through the French Revolution reveals the development of anticolonial consciousness prior to the nineteenth century. "Tropicalization" is the central metaphor of this analysis, a term that incorporates both the construction of various dynamic tropes by which the colonized are viewed and the site of the study, primarily the tropics. Tropicopolitans, then, are those people who bear and resist the representations of colonialist discourse. In readings that expose new relationships between literary representation and colonialism in the eighteenth century, Aravamudan considers such texts as Behn's Oroonoko, Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Captain Singleton, Addison's Cato, and Swift's Gulliver's Travels and The Drapier's Letters. He extends his argument to include analyses of Johnson's Rasselas, Beckford's Vathek, Montagu's travel letters, Equiano's autobiography, Burke's political and aesthetic writings, and Abbé de Raynal's Histoire des deux Indes. Offering a radical approach to literary history, this study provides new mechanisms for understanding the development of anticolonial agency. Introducing eighteenth-century studies to a postcolonial hermeneutics, Tropicopolitans will interest scholars engaged in postcolonial studies, eighteenth-century literature, and literary theory.

In Free and French in the Caribbean, John Walsh studies the writings of Toussaint Louverture and Aimé Césaire to examine how they conceived of and narrated two defining events in the decolonializing of the French Caribbean: the revolution that freed the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1803 and the departmentalization of Martinique and other French colonies in 1946. Walsh emphasizes the connections between these events and the distinct legacies of emancipation that emerged through the narratives of revolution and nationhood passed on to successive generations.
