A Secret among the Blacks: Slave Resistance before the Haitian Revolution

A Secret among the Blacks

Slave Resistance before the Haitian Revolution

2023 • 257 pages

John D. Garrigus provides a profound historical corrective, showing that enslaved Blacks in Saint-Domingue were hardly complacent before the Haitian Revolution. While scholars have looked beyond the island’s shores for the forces that inspired rebellion, Garrigus documents African resistance and political organizing decades before the 1791 revolt.
