About This Book

The work opens with a geographic and institutional account of the island and then traces political and social causes of colonial upheaval, emphasizing the role of free people of colour, metropolitan reformers, and early uprisings. It recounts the slave revolt, interventions by British and French forces, the negotiation, arrest, and removal of leading figures, and the eventual expulsion of foreign troops and proclamation of independence. Later sections survey the rival administrations that followed, their constitutions and policies, episodes of mass violence, and measures aimed at restoring cultivation, trade, legal systems, religion, finances, and population through censuses and reform initiatives.
