Stella – A Novel of the Haitian Revolution: America and the Long 19th Century

Autor Emeric Bergeaud, Christen Mucher, Lesley S. Curtis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 aug 2015
Stella, first published in 1859, is an imaginative retelling of Haiti s fight for independence from slavery and French colonialism. Set during the years of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), Stellatells the story of two brothers, Romulus and Remus, who help transform their homeland from the French colony of Saint-Domingue to the independent republic of Haiti. Inspired by the sacrifice of their African mother Marie and Stella, the spirit of Liberty, Romulus and Remus must learn to work together to found a new country based on the principles of freedom and equality. This new translation and critical edition of Emeric Bergeaud s allegorical novel makesStellaavailable to English-speaking audiences for the first time. Considered the first novel written by a Haitian, Stellatells of the devastation and deprivation that colonialism and slavery wrought upon Bergeaud s homeland. Unique among nineteenth-century accounts, Stellagives a pro-Haitian version of the Haitian Revolution, a bloody but just struggle that emancipated a people, and it charges future generations with remembering the sacrifices and glory of their victory. Bergeaud's novel demonstrates that the Haitians not the French are the true inheritors of the French Revolution, and that Haiti is the realization of its republican ideals. At a time in which Haitian Studies is becoming increasingly important within the English-speaking world, this edition calls attention to the rich though under-examined world of nineteenth-century Haiti."
