An Automated Workflow for Generating 3D Solids from Indoor Point Clouds in a Cadastral Context
Accurate volumetric modeling of indoor spaces is essential for emerging 3D cadastral systems, yet existing workflows often rely on manual intervention or produce surface-only models, limiting precision and scalability. This study proposes and validates an integrated, largely automated workflow (named VERTICAL) that converts classified indoor point clouds into topologically consistent 3D solids served as materials for land surveyor’s cadastral ana…
An African Prince in 1780s Saint-Domingue and Paris
Marc Boudakan was an aristocrat from the kingdom of Warri (modern day Nigeria), who traveled to Saint-Domingue (modern day Haiti), France, and back home in 1783–1786 to receive a French education and promote the slave trade. Throughout his unusual triangular journey, he was greeted by French officials despite new laws formalizing racial prejudice. Boudakan's journey, and the many reactions it elicited from his white contemporaries, opens a window…

Toussaint Louverture, the Cultivator System, and Haiti’s Independence (1798–1804)
When the Haitian Revolution entered its final years, the leaders of this French colony had to grapple with two main questions. First, should they grant the newly emancipated slaves full control over their lives, or should they curtail the freedom of field hands in the name of economic recovery? Second, should Haiti (Saint-Domingue) remain under direct French rule, or should it seek some political autonomy or even outright independence? Toussaint …
Le Marronage et la révolte de 1791
By analyzing plantation documents, the article argues that marronage was ten times more prevalent on the Bréda plantation of Haut-du-Cap than maroon notices in the colonial press would suggest. That is especially true of the group flights often dismissed as mere "strikes," which are unmentioned in the press and accounting documents even though they are the most numerous and most successful forms of marronage on the plantation. If confirmed by oth…
The Cry of Vertières
This book, a translation (by Jonathan Kaplansky) of Jean-Pierre Le Glaunec's L' armée indigène: La défaite de Napoléon en Haïti (2014), focuses on the battle of Vertières of November 18, 1803, which secured Haiti's victory in its war of independence.Le Glaunec, a professor of history at Sherbrooke University in Canada, was inspired by Georges Duby's 1973 approach to landmark battles in Le dimanche de Bouvines.(Pierre Nora's Les lieux de mémoires …
Isaac Sasportas, the 1799 Slave Conspiracy in Jamaica, and Sephardic Ties to the Haitian Revolution
Making freedom work
The 1791 slave revolt in Saint-Domingue (Haiti) and the first French abolition of slavery in 1793–1794 are generally seen as epochal events that redefined labor relations in the French Caribbean. But a close analysis of the labor codes promulgated during and after the Haitian Revolution indicates that elites were eager to reconcile the ideal of universal freedom with the needs of plantation agriculture, resulting in a succession of oppressive lab…

Cul de Sac
The title Cul de Sac has a dual meaning: it both refers to the plain of Cul de Sac in French Saint-Domingue (Haiti), where the Ferronays plantation that is the subject of this book was located, and to the dead end economic model it epitomised: far from being money-makers, Paul Cheney argues, the plantations of Saint-Domingue were plagued by inefficiencies and were already in crisis long before the onset of the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). By l…
Toussaint Louverture
To the question "Will there ever be a truly authoritative biography of Toussaint Louverture?" Charles Forsdick (a professor of French) and Christian Høgsbjerg (whose writings focus on black Marxist thinkers) reply that "the answer is probably no" (p. 6).It is an odd way to start a biography of Louverture, but the statement surely applies to this book, which is undermined by its ideological bias and its overreliance on other authors.(Both the ques…

Rebelles with a Cause
This article studies the role of white, black and mulatto women during the last two years of the Haitian War of Independence, also known as the Haitian Revolution (1802–04). It might be expected that women's contribution was limited in wartime, but this article concludes otherwise. Desirable women were sought as prizes symbolic of a man's status in colonial society, or actively used their appeal to obtain political favours. Women of colour contri…
