Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.The New Urban AtlanticLiterature   Literature, Modern—18th centuryLiterature—History and criticismImperialismPostcolonial/World Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000Eighteenth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/819000Literary Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000HaitiHistory1804-HaitifastBiography.fastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastLiterature   .Literature, Modern—18th century.Literature—History and criticism.Imperialism.Postcolonial/World Literature.Eighteenth-Century Literature.Literary History.Imperialism and Colonialism.809Daut Marlene Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut956425BOOK9910255085603321Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism2540189UNINA
