A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.

Je crois avec détermination que ceux qui travailleront dans l'humilité l'amour et la sincérité auront beaucoup d'honneurs dans le royaume de Dieu mais la majorité de célébrités chrétiennes ne verront pas Dieu parce qu'ils ont fait croire les mensonges aux innocents. Mon coeur brûle de joie, connaissant qu'un jour, Dieu me dira « mon enfant tu as vaincu, entre dans la joie de ton Père. » Je ne sais à quoi je puis comparer cet événement. Dis ce que Dieu t'a parlé sans ajouter ni diminuer et tu verras la gloire de Dieu. Le plus grand message de Jean Baptiste fut la repentance, notre Seigneur mêmement, et les apôtres n'ont continué qu'avec ce mot. Je remercie Dieu pour vous qui me lisez parce que l'Esprit de Dieu vous parlera. Ce livre nous parlera de tout ce que nous devons faire pour être ami de Dieu et aussi demeurer dans la communion avec Lui. Je recommande à tous les serviteurs de Dieu de se faire violence pour terminer et retenir les vérités que renferme ce livre. Seul la vérité triomphera. Le grand bonheur que peut profiter un homme est d'arriver un jour au ciel. Ma blessure est temporaire mais mon salut est eternel.

While prejudice against Jews is a real and ongoing category in Western culture, little attention has been paid to the myths of the Jews' and their impact in countries outside the West. This work draws on a wide variety of source materials from the past two centuries to examine the images of the Jews' as constructed in China. However, the interest here does not lie in the determination of the boundary between the real and fictional aspects of these images. Rather, it lies in the implications associated with the Jew' as an other', which remains a distant mirror in the construction of the self' amongst various social groups in modern China. Although it has been noted by a few scholars that the use of the Jews' as a category was important to many thinkers of modern China in the construction of their nationalistic and socio- political ideologies, this is the first systematic study in the field to be published. This book is also more than a historical book on China in that it opens a new arena for modern Jewish studies from a unique angle.
