/165/ Black Spartacus ft. Sudhir Hazareesingh
Added 2020-12-08 08:00:02 +0000 UTCOn Toussaint L'Ouverture.
CLR James’s electrifying 1938 history of the 1791-1804 Haitian Revolution, The Black Jacobins, has long been a staple of many radicals’ libraries. But we now know a lot more about the life of the Haitian revolutionary leader Toussaint L’Ouverture. How does this new knowledge impact our understanding of the Haitian Revolution, and on revolution in general? Sudhir Hazeeresingh, the author of a gripping new biography based on new archival research, ‘Black Spartacus: The Epic Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture, talks with us about about revolutionary leadership and Atlantic history.

2020-12-08 15:05:17 +0000 UTCI feel this guy's pain re: living in a society without any popular memory of revolution. It warps the Canadian psyche tbh. Imagine not even having a bourgeois revolution to draw on. 😭
