Haiti, Slavery and the War in the Caribbean
In 1801-1802 Napoleon dispatched the largest colonial venture of his reign to Haiti. His goal was to remove the famous revolutionary Toussaint Louverture from office and, possibly, restore slavery. But within two years, the remnants of Bonaparte’s once-proud army were evacuated in defeated, and Haiti declared its independence.
Un-Silencing the Past: The Writings of Toussaint Louverture
Contrary to most slave revolts, the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) has left a rich archival record that includes documents written by the dominant classes as well as by the people of African descent. Of these, the most notable author was Toussaint Louverture, who during the 1790s wrote hundreds of letters, pamphlets, and proclamations (a few of them in his own hand) in an effort to shape official and public opinion in France and Saint-Domingue (H…
French atrocities during the Haitian War of Independence
This article analyzes the atrocities committed by French troops during the Leclerc–Rochambeau expedition, which Napoléon Bonaparte sent to Saint-Domingue (Haiti) in 1802–1803. These emerged as a local response to a variety of factors, particularly the military difficulties encountered by the expedition's leaders. Atrocities were numerous and ranged from mass executions of colonial troops and rebel cultivators (particularly by hanging and drowning…

Quelle langue parlait Toussaint Louverture: Le mémoire du fort de Joux et les origines du kreyòl haïtien
Cet article tente de recréer la langue des révolutionnaires haïtiens, plus particulièrement celle de Toussaint Louverture, à l'aide des témoignages de ses contemporains, des lettres rédigées par d'anciens esclaves et du mémoire qu'il écrivit peu avant sa mort. Une analyse détaillée de ces sources faisant appel à l'histoire et à la linguistique montre que Louverture privilégiait le français à l'écrit, qu'il cantonnait le kreyòl à un rôle oral (sur…

The Haitian Revolution, History's New Frontier: State of the Scholarship and Archival Sources
Focusing on the era of the Haitian Revolution, this article analyses recent historiographical developments in both French and English. Though the field has made great strides in recent decades, it occasionally remains hampered by insufficient archival research, a parochial approach by US and French scholars, and linguistic fragmentation. The article also includes a survey of the main archival resources that are available to scholars in Europe, th…

Trading Races: Joseph and Marie Bunel, a Diplomat and a Merchant in Revolutionary Saint-Domingue and Philadelphia
Based on extensive research in French, British, and U.S. archives, the article focuses on Joseph Bunel, a diplomatic and commercial envoy for Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and his wife Marie Bunel (Fanchette Estève), who spent her adult life as a merchant in Cap Français (Cap Haïtien) and Philadelphia. Joseph and Marie Bunel were a white Frenchman and a free black Creole, but their careers were shaped more by their social and …
Napoleon Bonaparte and the Emancipation Issue in Saint-Domingue, 1799–1803
It is generally assumed that the expedition that Napoléon Bonaparte sent to Saint-Domingue (Haiti) in December 1801 was largely prompted by lobbying on the part of exiled planters and that it aimed at restoring slavery in this colony. Yet a careful analysis of French, British, and American published and archival sources paints a much more nuanced picture. French officials, including Bonaparte and the expedition's first captain general, Victoire L…

Caribbean genocide: Racial war in Haiti, 1802–4
Girard's article covers the 1802–4 period in Haiti, during which an expeditionary force sent by Napoleon Bonaparte on the one hand, and an army of Blacks and Mulattoes (most of them former slaves) on the other hand, openly considered genocide of the enemy population. Whites carried out massacres but fell short of genocide because of the French military defeat; Blacks won the war and eradicated Haiti's white population in 1804. The article offers …
