Více o knize

The Haitian Revolution marked a significant challenge to colonialism and slavery, establishing Haiti as the first state in the Americas to abolish slavery and outlaw color prejudice. In a hostile environment, Haitian thinkers and fighters not only defended their independence against foreign aggression but also laid the groundwork for modern anticolonial, antislavery, and antiracist ideals. This movement profoundly influenced the political landscape, promoting the concept of universal freedom and egalitarian governance.
