Description

In this vigorous, provocative, and well-documented history, David Nicholls discusses the have an effect on of “color” at the political relationship between the black majority and the mulatto elite all through almost 2 hundred years of Haitian history. The divisive factor impeding harmony in Haitian culture, argues Nicholls, has now not been race, but color. Identifying themselves as non-white, blacks and mulattos acknowledge racial unity. But color divisions, reinforced by non secular, regional, and class differences, have nonetheless prevented the 2 groups from achieving poltitical and ideological unity. Nicholls grounds this sophisticated analysis in great historical detail and tasty, witty prose. Students and general readers alike will delight on this insightful and informative history of Haiti.
