Abstract "John Garrigus provides a profound historical corrective, showing that enslaved Blacks in Saint-Domingue were hardly complacent before the Haitian Revolution. While scholars who have looked beyond the island's shores for the forces that inspired rebellion, Garrigus documents African resistance and political organizing decades before the 1791 revolt"-- Provided by publisher.
