Steel Rabbit reviewed The Black Jacobins by C.L.R. James II
Class Conflict in San Domingo
4 stars
An incredible piece of writing that not only grasps the historical significance of Toussaint L'Ouverture, but the real material structure that led to the Haitian revolution. Written in the mid-'30s, too, which really puts the revolution in the context of the World Wars.
