The former slaves' victory over their French masters and the creation of the independent nation of Haiti in 1804 is being newly heralded not only as a seminal moment in the transnational formation of the 'black Atlantic' but as the most far-reaching manifestation of 'Radical Enlightenment'.</p><br> The best known Haitian writer to emerge in the years after the revolution is Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), who authored over ten books and pamphlets between 1814 and his murder in 1820. His first and most incendiary work, Le système colonial dévoilé (1814), provides a moving invocation of the horrors of slavery in pre-revolutionary Saint-Domingue. Its trailblazing critique of colonialism anticipates by over a hundred years the anticolonial politics (and poetics) of Césaire, Fanon, and Sartre. <p></p><br> Translated here for the first time, Vastey's forceful unveiling of the colonial system will be compulsory reading for scholars across the humanities.<br> <p></p>SlaveryHaitiHistoryHaitiHistoryRevolution, 1791-1804SlaveryHistory.972.9403MI 80086rvkVastey Pompée-Valentinbaron de,-1820?1688034Bongie Chris1688035UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910811220003321The colonial system unveiled4061976UNINA
