Our recap episodes, which offer a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time, have reached 1803 - a year in which peace between France and Britain collapses, and the cause of Haitian independence is finally realised. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers a 12-month period in which, despite attack dogs and the death of Toussaint Louverture, the French are defeated on Saint-Domingue and Dessalines emerges as the leader to achieve independence for Haiti. This is the year which sees the Louisiana Purchase, an astonishing moment which turns the United States into a continental power overnight. And in Europe Britain declares war once again on France, setting up endless debates about whose fault the demise of the Peace of Amiens really was. Meanwhile the Swiss Confederation is created thanks to the signature of Napoleon Bonaparte - and in India an up and coming general called Arthur Wellesley achieves a striking victory at the Battle of Assaye which effectively ends the Second Anglo-Maratha War.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

Kunstenaar Jacob Lawrence, geboren in 1917, was een kind van ‘de grote migratie' in het Amerika van die tijd. Het zou het grote thema van zijn werk worden. Hij schilderde in een kleurrijke, figuratieve stijl gewone mensen, Afro-Amerikaanse mensen in hun dagelijks leven, en ook iconische figuren zoals de Haïtiaanse revolutieleider Toussaint Louverture en Amerikaanse activist en ontsnapte tot slaaf gemaakte Harriet Tubman. Hij werd één van de belangrijkste kunstenaars van Amerika, één van de weinige zwarte kunstenaars in een witte kunstwereld in een tijd van segregatie en racisme.  Podcastmaker en journalist Inge ter Schure praat met: *Robbert Roos, directeur van kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort, waar afgelopen najaar de eerste grote overzichtstentoonstelling met het werk van Lawrence te zien was. *John Leerdam, liefhebber en directeur van het Nationaal Slavernijmuseum dat uiterlijk in 2030 in Amsterdam de deuren opent.  *Wim Pijbes, kunsthistoricus, directeur van Stichting Droom en Daad en initiatiefnemer van het Migratiemuseum Fenix in Rotterdam.

In part two of Lecture 8, Professor Renaldo McKenzie continues the discussions on the efficacy and completion of Caribbean Independence and Haitian freedoms in light of global capital power and new colonial structures. Discussion Points:1. Who Made the Haitian Revolution? Many textbooks emphasize: Toussaint Louverture. But Haiti's revolution was made by: Enslaved Africans Field workers Maroons Women Vodou leaders Communities Collective resistance History belongs to the people.2. Dutty Boukman Revolutionary Priest and Freedom Fighter Jamaican-born enslaved African Transported to Saint-Domingue Spiritual leader Led the famous Bois Caïman ceremony (1791)Inspired the beginning of the Haitian Revolution For many Haitians, Boukman represents African spiritual resistance. Image: Artistic depiction of Dutty Boukman 3. Cécile Fatiman The Forgotten Revolutionary Vodou priestess Remembered for: Bois Caïman ceremony Spiritual leadership African cosmology Mobilizing resistance Many European histories largely ignore her contribution.4. Jean-Jacques Dessalines Founder of Haiti Unlike Toussaint Louverture: Rejected compromise with France. Demanded complete independence. Declared Haiti independent in 1804. Regarded by many Haitians as the true founder of the nation. Freedom required complete separation from the empire. 5. Toussaint Louverture Reconsidered: C.L.R. James elevated Louverture as the central revolutionary figure. Yet Haiti's revolution was not the work of one man. It was also the work of: African spirituality Vodou Collective resistance Maroons Women Rural communities Reducing the revolution to Louverture alone risks repeating colonial habits.6. The Revolution Never Ended After independence Haiti experienced: Diplomatic isolation Economic sanctions Foreign debt Elite betrayal U.S. occupation International intervention Political instability Political independence did not guarantee sovereignty.7. Haiti in the Twenty-First Century: Pursuing independent paths have often encountered: Debt, sanctions, political pressure, regime destabilization, economic dependence, foreign intervention. Examples: Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela Jamaica9. Jamaica Under Michael Manley navigated between Capitalism and Socialism. Independence is an ongoing struggle over: Sovereignty Debt Race Identity Memory Global power Key TakeawaysHaiti transformed world history. Freedom was punished through debt.The Haitian Revolution was collective. African spirituality played a central role. Colonial narratives continue to shape Caribbean identity. Independence remains an unfinished struggle. Haiti remains central to understanding the Caribbean and global power.Recommended Readings The Black Jacobins — C. L. R.

Professor Renaldo McKenzie discusses the Caribbean Historical Timeline and explores the Caribbean Revolution and independence, starting with Haiti. Haiti's independence in 1804 did not merely free the western side of Hispaniola; it shook the entire colonial world. Yet the meaning of independence on the island became contested. Haiti's victory over France marked the first successful Black republic born of an anti-slavery revolution, but France and other colonial powers refused to recognize that freedom as legitimate. In 1825, France forced Haiti to pay a massive indemnity in exchange for recognition, turning liberation into debt and punishing Haiti for daring to defeat the empire. This history also complicates Dominican independence. The eastern side of Hispaniola experienced different claims of sovereignty: Spanish rule, a brief declaration of independence in 1821, Haitian unification of the island under Jean-Pierre Boyer in 1822, and then Dominican independence from Haiti in 1844. Later, Dominican elites framed Haitian rule as foreign occupation, while Haitian leaders saw island unification as necessary to protect abolition and prevent European recolonization. That conflict produced a bitter historical memory that still shapes relations between Haiti and the Dominican Republic today. European powers and local elites helped deepen that division. Anti-Haitian ideology did not emerge by accident; it was cultivated through race, class, language, religion, and political power. Dominican nationalism often defined itself against Haiti, and some leaders advanced whiteness or Hispanidad as a way to separate Dominican identity from Blackness and African heritage. This helped create policies and attitudes that treated Haitians as outsiders, even though both peoples share the same island and are bound by colonial history. Haiti's revolution has also been misread through European eyes. C.L.R. James elevated Toussaint Louverture as a central figure, and Louverture was indeed brilliant. But the Haitian Revolution was not the work of one French-trained military mind. It was also the work of Vodou, maroon resistance, enslaved Africans, field laborers, women, spiritual leaders, and local revolutionaries such as Dutty Boukman. To make Louverture the sole founder risks repeating a colonial habit: recognizing Black genius only when it resembles European education, discipline, and military order.The Lecture is part of a Course, Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary.Renaldo McKenzie is Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round and President of The Neoliberal Corporation, Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary.

The First Emancipation: The Forgotten History of Abolition in Revolutionary France (Princeton UP, 2026) is a dramatic account of how slavery and race profoundly influenced the course of the French Revolution and had a central impact on the lives of key leaders, including Mirabeau, Robespierre, Toussaint Louverture, and Napoleon. Acclaimed historian Jeremy D. Popkin brings this often-forgotten story to life, highlighting the arguments put forward by French abolitionists and their opponents and the profound repercussions of the first abolition of slavery in a Western empire.When the French revolutionaries passed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen in 1789, they immediately faced a burning question: did that document's first article—“Men are born and remain free and equal in rights”—apply to the 800,000 enslaved Black people in the country's colonies? Over the next dozen years, revolutionary leaders fought over this question. The First Emancipation tells how French lawmakers initially protected slavery in their constitution but reversed themselves in 1794, making France the first western country to abolish slavery throughout its empire. Yet only eight years later, in 1802, Napoleon tried to force the emancipated Black populations of the colonies back into slavery. His decision led to his first major military defeat and to the proclamation of the independence of the Black nation of Haiti, but also to the reestablishment of slavery in other French colonies, where it would not finally be abolished until 1848.The story of how France emancipated its enslaved people and declared them full citizens only to return many of them to bondage, The First Emancipation reveals that the course of abolition in the modern world was more winding and halting than is often remembered.

En Haïti, le nombre de déplacés se multiplie avec, notamment, les violences armées qui continuent de plonger des centaines de familles dans le désespoir. Dans la région de la plaine du Cul-de-Sac, les affrontements entre groupes armés rivaux ont déjà fait au moins 390 morts, selon les Nations unies, et forcé de nombreuses familles à abandonner leurs maisons, parfois incendiées lors des attaques. Réfugiés sur une place située le long de la route menant à l'aéroport international Toussaint-Louverture, ces déplacés vivent aujourd'hui dans des conditions extrêmement précaires, sans nourriture suffisante, sans eau potable ni toilettes. Livrées à elles-mêmes et toujours sans véritable assistance des autorités, ces familles tentent de survivre au milieu d'une situation humanitaire alarmante.

Au Mexique, les autorités ont annoncé l'arrestation d'Audias Flores Silva, alias El Jardinero, présenté comme l'un des possibles successeurs d'El Mencho à la tête du cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Son interpellation, dans l'État de Nayarit, a mobilisé 500 militaires et quatre hélicoptères après 19 mois de surveillance. Malgré un important dispositif de protection autour du trafiquant, l'opération s'est déroulée sans échange de tirs. Les États-Unis offraient cinq millions de dollars pour sa capture et demandent désormais son extradition. Selon la presse mexicaine, El Jardinero coordonnait l'acheminement de cocaïne, d'héroïne et de fentanyl vers Houston, avant leur redistribution dans plusieurs villes américaines. Washington aurait fourni des renseignements aux autorités mexicaines, dans un contexte de pression croissante sur Mexico pour renforcer la lutte contre les cartels. Selon le spécialiste du crime organisé Frédéric Saliba, c'est un coup important porté au Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, le deuxième en quelques mois après la mort de « El Mencho », l'ex-chef du cartel, tué lors d'une opération des forces de l'ordre en février 2026.   Haïti : les raisons de la fermeture de l'aéroport de Port-au-Prince Avec Gotson Pierre, rédacteur en chef d'Alterpresse, nous revenons sur la fermeture prolongée de l'aéroport international Toussaint Louverture. Elle s'explique avant tout par la dégradation sécuritaire à Port-au-Prince. Depuis novembre 2024, après plusieurs attaques de gangs contre des avions civils en approche, les autorités internationales, notamment américaines, considèrent que les conditions minimales de sécurité ne sont plus réunies pour l'aviation commerciale. Si certains vols militaires ou diplomatiques continuent d'atterrir, c'est parce qu'ils obéissent à des protocoles de sécurité beaucoup plus stricts et acceptent un niveau de risque impossible à imposer à des passagers civils. Une reprise partielle de quelques vols intérieurs a bien eu lieu, mais elle reste très limitée et ne change pas l'isolement croissant du pays. Autres sujets abordés avec Gotson Pierre, le mouvement de protestation qui paralyse l'hôpital public Justinien au Cap-Haïtien et le procès de l'assassinat de l'ancien président Jovenel Moïse à Miami qui entre dans sa 7è semaine d'audience.

So much of what is happening these days seems utterly nonsensical, from Trump’s war crime and profanity-laced Easter rant, to the whipsaw on Iran. So, is it simply Occam’s razor, or is there more going on here than we’re led to believe? Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (1913) The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis. — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373 I would suggest nothing we’re seeing, including (especially) the seemingly nonsensical, is ‘accidental’ or coincidental. It is PSYOP/PSWAR, a potent toxic mixture of POSIWID and chaos theory designed and intended to rapidly produce maximum chaos resulting in a ‘Clash of Civilizations‘ and The End of History and the Last Man, to ultimately bring about a ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’1234 a la Genesis 11 → Genesis 6 → culminating in Psalm 2 → Revelation 19.

Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic. Members of the US government—as well as We the People—should think about the reflections of multiple Roman authors who regarded the total annihilation of Carthage as an outrage and repudiation of Rome's republican values and virtues. In the Aeneid, Virgil frames the Punic Wars as a fateful conflict initiated by the Punic Queen Dido’s curse on Aeneas’s descendants. I interpret this as Virgil's way of condemning the “unspeakable” destruction of Carthage. The American people should be aware of the fact that if our US government does indeed annihilate the Iranian nation forever, it will certainly have a vast array of terrible consequences for us and for all of mankind. Among other disasters, it is likely that millions of Iranians will be forced to flee to other lands, including those of Europe. Many young men who see their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters suffer will be animated with a burning desire for revenge. I anticipate great horrors ahead for all of us.

Eisenhower coined one of the most famous Cold War phrases, held a news conference in which he outlined the concept of the “domino theory” as he spoke of the importance of containing the spread of communism in Indochina, saying, “You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly.” 1953 – Sweden's Dag Hammarskjöld elected U.N. head: By a vote of 57 to 1, Dag Hammarskjöld is elected secretary-general of the United Nations.

He wasn’t. Nagging wives needed to be careful in 19th Century England, for, as Hardy recounted in The Mayor of Casterbridge, her husband might put her up for sale.

He denied the Fact for which he suffered, and said he was perswaded to own the Robbery by a Soldier that was in Halsted Bridewell with him, he telling him, that if he confessed the Fact he would come off very well; and that he advised him to say, that he had made use of a Bolt instead of a Pistol, and that he had hid it in a certain Place, where it was found according to his Direction. At the Place of Execution he seemed very stupid and unconcern'd; only, as directed, he called on God for Mercy when he was turned off.

In this Short Suck, we dive into the Haitian Revolution - the only truly successful large-scale slave revolt in human history - where the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue rose up, burned France's “cash machine” to the ground, and then fought France, Spain, and Britain for more than a decade to create Haiti. It's a brutal, twisty, holy shit how do we not already know this story full of battlefield genius, betrayals, and legendary speeches.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week we restart the narrative. Continuing our discussion about slavery from last time, we move to the Haitian Revolution and Toussaint Louverture.

 Join host Professor Robert Allison for a dynamic conversation with historian Ronald Angelo Johnson, author of Entangled Alliances: Racialized Freedom and Atlantic Diplomacy During the American Revolution. Together they explore how the American Revolution unfolded within a vibrant and contested Atlantic world shaped by Black leadership, Caribbean revolutions, and international diplomacy. Johnson, who holds the the Ralph and Bessie Mae Lynn Chair of History at Baylor University,  highlights the  global forces—from Haiti to Europe—that influenced American independence and redefined ideas of freedom. The Revolution was not an isolated struggle, but was part of a far-reaching web of alliances, conflicts, and revolutionary change. Tell us what you think! Send us a text message!

Les États-Unis veulent plonger dans l'ombre le «Cartel de los Soles». Ce lundi (24 novembre 2025), Washington doit désigner comme organisation terroriste étrangère cette organisation dirigée par le président vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro. C'est en tout cas, ce qu'affirme l'administration Trump alors que Caracas réagit en dénonçant «un mensonge ridicule». Pour de nombreux experts, ce gang n'existe pas. Il s'agit, en réalité, de réseaux de corruption impliquant l'armée. Il n'existe pas d'organisation qui s'appelle «le Cartel de los soles». «C'est une étiquette que les journalistes ont inventée, il y a très longtemps, avant même qu'Hugo Chavez n'arrive au pouvoir, pour désigner les militaires de haut rang impliqués dans le trafic de drogue», explique Phil Gunson, chercheur de l'International Crisis Group, interrogé par RFI. Ce spécialiste du Venezuela poursuit : «C'est vrai qu'il y a des militaires vénézuéliens mouillés dans le narcotrafic et que le gouvernement laisse faire. Il y a une véritable impunité. Mais on ne peut pas parler d'organisation en tant que tel. C'est difficile de dire à quel point les militaires sont impliqués. En général, ils touchent de l'argent pour ne pas s'en mêler, pour détourner le regard ou pour laisser les trafiquants utiliser un aéroport ou une route. Mais le plus souvent, les généraux ne sont pas des trafiquants de drogue. Ils ne sont pas propriétaires des cargaisons de cocaïne.»   Attaque ou dialogue ? Cette décision des États-Unis est un coup de pression supplémentaire sur le régime de Maduro. Cela «peut ouvrir la porte à des mesures fortes, mais pas forcément à une intervention militaire», estime le média indépendant vénézuélien Efecto Cocuyo. En tout cas, «la menace augmente», juge Alexis Duarte, avocat et expert en droit international, interrogé par le journal. Car cette désignation «donne une base légale à une intervention des États-Unis contre ce groupe.» C'est surtout un «signal politique», analyse Mariano de Alba, autre avocat expert en droit international interviewé par Efecto Cocuyo. Un signal que le temps presse et que les négociations entre les États-Unis et le régime Maduro doivent se tenir et aboutir rapidement. Donald Trump se dit, en effet, prêt à discuter avec Nicolas Maduro. Cet appel au dialogue est «un rapprochement diplomatique», selon Tal Cual. Le politologue José Vicente Carrasquero, interrogé par le média en ligne vénézuélien, se montre assez réservé. Discuter, dialoguer et négocier, ce n'est pas la même chose, souligne-t-il. Même prudence de la part d'Efecto Cocuyo. Cette pseudo main tendue ouvre «un éventail de possibilités» qui va «d'une négociation pour une transition démocratique, en passant par un accord avec les États-Unis qui donnerait satisfaction à la Maison Blanche avec Maduro au pouvoir, jusqu'à une attaque militaire sur le sol vénézuélien», écrit le site indépendant. Pour Alexis Duarte, l'inscription du Cartel de los Soles sur la liste des Organisations terroristes étrangères et dans le même temps, c'est en réalité, «la dernière mise en garde» des États-Unis, la dernière chance pour Nicolas Maduro de quitter le pouvoir pacifiquement.   Les États-Unis veulent davantage d'exploration pétrolière Alors que la COP 30 de Belém au Brésil s'est achevée sur un accord que beaucoup jugent décevant, notamment car il ne fait aucune mention de la sortie des énergies fossiles, les États-Unis ont annoncé un plan pour ouvrir aux forages pétroliers et gaziers plus de 400 millions d'hectares dans les eaux fédérales, y compris dans des zones préservées depuis des décennies. «Les régions concernées sont une partie de la Floride au Sud, la totalité de la côte californienne, l'État de sa bête noire le Démocrate Gavin Newsom (qui lui s'est rendu à Belém et continue d'investir massivement dans les énergies vertes) et l'Alaska», détaille Nathanaël Vittrant, journaliste au service Économie de RFI. L'Institut américain du pétrole salue un plan «historique» insistant sur les milliards de dollars qui devraient rentrer dans les caisses de l'État fédéral... et accessoirement dans les poches des multinationales du pétrole. À l'inverse, les écologistes s'inquiètent soulignant que chacun des 34 permis d'exploitation qui vont être mis aux enchères dans les prochaines années, va produire du pétrole et rejeter du carbone dans l'atmosphère pendant les 40 prochaines années.   La détresse des Haïtiens réfugiés dans des camps de déplacés En Haïti, Port-au-Prince n'est à nouveau plus accessible par avion. Hier (23 novembre 2025), Sunrise Airways a suspendu tous ces vols au départ et à l'arrivée de la capitale. La compagnie n'a pas donné d'explications mais les médias haïtiens rapportent un accident intervenu plus tôt dans la journée. Un avion, en provenance des Cayes, a été touché par balle alors qu'il atterrissait à l'aéroport Toussaint Louverture. Aucune victime n'est à déplorer. La situation à Port-au-Prince est toujours aussi tendue et la détresse grandit de jour en jour dans les camps de déplacés. Alors que les ressources diminuent, l'accès à l'eau, à la nourriture, aux toilettes et aux soins forment un casse-tête géant. Notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama a visité certains camps de déplacés.   Le journal de la 1ère Après avoir participé à la COP 30 à Belém, la ministre française de la Transition écologique se trouve en Guyane.

David McNally's Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History (U California Press, 2025)presents the first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery. McNally argues that enslaved labour within the plantation system constituted capitalist commodity production, and crucially, reframes the resistance of enslaved people as profound labour struggles. He posits a "social conception of freedom", contrasting it with the liberal individualist view, asserting that for enslaved people, freedom was communal and collective, as no individual could break the structures of slavery alone. The book revives a "forgotten critical Marxist tradition" that consistently upheld the capitalist nature of New World slavery, drawing on three crucial thinkers: C.L.R. James, who argued that the collective labour of enslaved sugar cane workers on Haitian plantations was "closer to a modern proletariat than any group of workers in the world at the time". W.E.B. Du Bois, who described the overthrow of slavery in the U.S. Civil War as a "general strike of the slaves," recognizing their withdrawal of labour as commodity producers. Sylvia Wynter, who referred to this "new world enslaved class" as the "plantation proletariat," seeing them as "the most thoroughly modern social class". At the heart of McNally's analysis is the concept of the "chattel proletariat," which he describes as the "pivot point" of his analysis. This concept challenges the idea that the proletariat must mean "free workers". He demonstrates that enslaved people were economically bonded to capital, much like "free" labourers are bonded by economic necessity, with both forms of labour exploited for surplus value. Contrary to common belief, enslaved workers on Atlantic plantations "regularly used the strike weapon," engaging in collective acts like mass strikes (e.g., Toussaint Louverture's call, Bussa's rebellion, the 1831 Jamaica strikes, and Du Bois's "general strike"). These actions lead McNally to assert they were "among the foremost innovators in mass strikes" and should be recognized as part of the proletariat, necessitating a rewriting of modern labour history. McNally incorporates the insights of Marxist feminists and social reproduction theorists, emphasizing the "life-making" aspect of the chattel proletariat. He highlights that enslaved Black women not only produced commodities but also performed the essential, gendered labour of reproducing human existence. He also stresses the "necessity of theory" in historical analysis, arguing that empirical approaches alone cannot grasp "collective social processes" without a broader theoretical framework of commodity and social relationships. This book represents a significant confrontation with racial capitalism, weaving together McNally's long-standing interests in political economy and anti-racist commitments.

David McNally's Slavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History (U California Press, 2025)presents the first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery. McNally argues that enslaved labour within the plantation system constituted capitalist commodity production, and crucially, reframes the resistance of enslaved people as profound labour struggles.

Programa 5x165, amb Francesc Mauri. Atenci

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Jun 21, 2020 In this episode, we explore the Haitian Revolution—the only successful slave revolt in history and a landmark event in the global struggle against colonialism and white supremacy. From the brutal plantation economy of Saint-Domingue to the rise of revolutionary leaders like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, we trace how enslaved Africans overthrew French rule and declared the world's first Black republic. We also examine how this radical uprising shook the foundations of empire, inspired abolitionist movements, and remains a crucial—yet often erased—chapter in revolutionary history. Alexander Aviña is an associate professor of Latin American history in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University. His book, "Specters of Revolution: Peasant Guerrillas in the Cold War Mexican Countryside" , was awarded the Maria Elena Martínez Book Prize in Mexican History for 2015 by the Conference on Latin American History. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood

Slave, revolutionary, king, Henry Christophe was, in his time, popular and famous the world over. Born to an enslaved mother on the Caribbean island of Grenada, Christophe first fought to overthrow the British in North America, before helping his fellow enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue, as Haiti was then called, to end slavery. Yet in an incredible twist of fate, Christophe began fighting with Napoleon's forces against the formerly enslaved men and women he had once fought alongside. Later, reuniting with those he had abandoned, he offered to lead them and made himself their king. But it all came to a sudden and tragic end when Christophe—after nine years of his rule as King Henry I—shot himself in the heart, some say with a silver bullet. But why did Christophe turn his back on Toussaint Louverture and the very revolution with which his name is so indelibly associated? How did it come to pass that Christophe found himself accused of participating in the plot to assassinate Haiti's first ruler, Dessalines? And what caused Haiti to eventually split into two countries, one ruled by Christophe in the north and the other led by President Pétion in the south? To look at this story, we are joined by Marlene Daut, author of “The First and Last King of Haiti: The Rise and Fall of Henry Christophe,” exploring the-still controversial enigma that he was.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
