Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review\n\nThe Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe.\n\nAnd it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean.\n\nWith a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679724672\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0679724672.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Scott, David Scott|James, C.L.R.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
