A novel set in the final years of the Haitian Revolution at the dawn of the nineteenth century. Trouillot constructs an intricate narrative web from the varied experiences of freedmen and -women, maroons, enslaved African people and their Creole children, and French planters and white smallholders in colonial Saint-Domingue at the time of the last confrontations between the Haitian revolutionaries and Napoleon's imperial forces - a conflict that resulted in the success of the largest slave revolt in recorded history and the independence of the first Black state in the Western hemisphere--
