What is The making of Haiti : the Saint Domingue revolution from below about?
Carolyn E. Fick argues that the repressed and uneducated slaves of Saint Domingue were the principal architects both of their own freedom and of the successful movement toward national independence. Fick identifies "marronage," the act of being a fugitive slave, as a basic unit of slave resistance from which the revolution grew and shows how autonomous forms of popular slave participation were as important to the success of the rebellion as the leadership of men like Toussaint Louverture, Henri Christophe, and Dessalines.
