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 includeHaiti?s Baron de Vastey. 410 0$aThe New Urban Atlantic 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y18th century 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImperialism 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 14$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 676 $a809 700 $aDaut$b Marlene L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0956425 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255085603321 996 $aBaron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism$92540189 997 $aUNINA
