[St. Domingue]: AN INQUIRY INTO THE CAUSES OF THE INSURRECTION OF THE NEGROES IN THE ISLAND OF ST. DOMINGO. TO WHICH ARE ADDED, OBSERVATIONS OF M. GARRAN—COULON ON THE SANE SUBJECT, READ IN HIS ABSENCE BY M. GUADET, BEFORE THE NATICNAL ASSEMBLY, 29TH FEB. 1792. London: 1792. 32pp, later plain wrappers, stitched. Short tear to an inner margin with signature loose. Light wear and foxing, Good to Very Good. The bloody slave revolt culminated in independence of Haiti, St. Domingue’s successor, caused almost total destruction of Saint Doningue. . .destroved France’s most lucrative colony.. .and transformed the entire balance of power.’ Davis Slavery and Human Stogress 6, 78. “The Haitian revolution of the 179O’s terrified American and European whites and was disastrous for the North American merchants who had supplied provisions for the French West Indian expansion. But the eclipse was a godsend for British, Brazilian, Cuban, and North American planters.” Id.

Abolitionists were quite anxious about “the kind of evolutionarv struggle and racial warfare that had ravaged Haiti.” Zd. at 115. Indeed, they were blamed for it. But this piece places the blame squarely on the planters, whose inhumane treatment of the slaves is deplored.

This is the first edition. NUC lists a 39—page edition republished in Philadelphia later in 1792. Neither Sabin nor Blockson cites this edition.

# R107 HISTORY, LITERATURE &C. OF HAYTI Unsigned article in Niles' Weekly Register, Baltimore, MD, 1820. This 187 year old newspaper which I have in my library has a rather ironic set of stories. Early in the paper is a story entitled: HISTORY, LITRATURE, &c. OF HAYTI. This long story was reprinted from "The British Review from March 1820." The irony is that this story celebrates the rule of both Christophe in the north and Boyer in the south and shows what a marvelous job each is doing and how, while technically at war, they do a decent job of getting along. Then, later in the paper is a another significant report of the uprising against Christophe which began at St. Marc and led to his suicide and the unification of Hayti. However, in this story, just pages later in the same newspaper, Christophe has become this horrible tyrrant and murderer. The issue isn't so much which picture of Christophe is the correct one. Rather, it is the irony that the editors of the Baltimore paper, Niles' Weekly Reader, either didn't notice the contradictory portraits of Christophe or they didn't care. No matter the editorical position, or lack of same, this is an extradinarily vivid picture of the Haiti in the last days of the division into the Kindom of the north and the Republic of the south. It is a bit skimpy in details of the revolution and downfall of of Christophe.

# 520Z Rhodes, Jewell Parker VOODOO DREAMS: A NOVEL OF MARIE LAUVEAU. Picador, 1995. Paperback. Very nice condition. 433 pages. New Orleans in the mid-nineteenth century is a city overflowing with white aristos, black creoles, and African slaves, a city that pulses with crowds, with commerce, and with the power and spectacle of the voodoo religion. At the center of the ritual is Marie Laveau, the notorious voodooienne, worshipped and feared by blacks and whites alike. Marie's followers claimed that she walked on water and sucked poison from a snake's jowls, that she raised the dead and murdered two men. Voodoo Dreams is the spellbinding story of the woman behind the legend. Raised by her Grandmere in the Louisiana bayou, Marie ventures to New Orleans and begins a journey of self-discovery, hoping to find her lost Maman and understand the visions that haunt her dreams. Instead, she runs headlong into the brutality of slavery and oppression, and into the arms of John, the voodoo doctor who promises to teach her what Grandmere will not. As she falls under his spell, John sweeps Marie into a world of voodoo ceremonies, of drama and manipulation, and of sometimes terrifying power. A mesmerizing combination of history and storytelling, Voodoo Dreams marks the debut of an important new voice in fiction.
