Slave Revolt on Screen

Více o knize

Focusing on the representation of the Haitian Revolution in films and video games, this work explores how this pivotal event has been overshadowed in popular culture. It highlights the contrast between the revolution's historical significance and its sparse portrayal, often sidelined by narratives that emphasize victimhood over empowerment. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of existing films and unproduced projects, while also examining video games, particularly the Assassin's Creed series, to reveal how economic legacies influence these portrayals and shape public perception.
