Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the events in Saint-Domingue in June 1793, a period of great racial strife exacerbated by the French Revolution. The author focuses on the role of the French commissioners Polverel and Sonthonax, arguing that they deliberately fueled tensions to incite a slave rebellion and destroy the white population. The book draws on primary sources, including letters, speeches, and proclamations, to support its argument. The author provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the outbreak of violence, including the commissioners' efforts to subvert the authority of the local government and their alliance with free people of color who sought to gain political power. The book also examines the broader historical context of the Haitian Revolution and its impact on French colonial policy. The author concludes that Polverel and Sonthonax's actions were a major factor in the escalation of violence and the eventual collapse of French rule in Saint-Domingue, highlighting the disastrous consequences of their racial prejudice and political opportunism.
