Description

Published in the series Historia desde abajo (History from Below), this is the inspiring story of the armed rebellion in Haiti (1791–1804), when black slaves, led by Toussaint Louverture, adopted the French Revolution's cry for liberty, equality, and fraternity, leading to the island colony's own declaration of independence in 1804.
