Book Synopsis The Colonial System Unveiled by : Pompée-Valentin baron de Vastey

Download or read book The Colonial System Unveiled written by Pompée-Valentin baron de Vastey. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical edition offers the first English translation of Baron de Vastey's 'Le système colonial dévoilé', a trailblazing critique of colonialism and the transatlantic slave system that was originally published in Haiti in 1814. His first and most incendiary work provides a moving invocation of the horrors of slavery in pre-revolutionary Saint-Domingue, as well as an unrelenting denunciation of racial hierarchies and colonial rule that anticipates by over a hundred years the anticolonial politics (and poetics) of Césaire, Fanon, and Sartre.
