Hazareesingh, Sudhir2020
Books
A modern biography of the great slave leader, military genius and revolutionary hero Toussaint Louverture (1743-1803). Hazareesingh shows that Louverture developed his unique vision and leadership not solely in response to imported Enlightenment ideals and revolutionary events in Europe and the Americas, but through a hybrid heritage of fraternal slave organisations, Caribbean mysticism and African political traditions
