Recenzii

"A much-needed contribution to scholarship on the imperial and cultural history of the French Atlantic."-Gender and History "This engaging and beautifully researched book illuminates the world of nineteenth-century Martinique, demonstrating the ways in which debates about race and sexuality shaped cultural and political life in the colony. It is a major contribution to our understanding of the important history of the French Caribbean and the French Atlantic more broadly."-Laurent Dubois, Duke University "A major contribution to a field dominated in recent years by scholarship on Saint Domingue and the Haitian Revolution."-John Savage, American Historical Review "Sweet Liberty is the first detailed English-language study of the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution in the French Atlantic... Using government archives, the records of the Sisters of Saint-Joseph, and the extraordinary diary of the planter Pierre Dessalles, [Rebecca Hartkopf Schloss] describes how elite families struggled with each other, metropolitan administrators, and subalterns to protect their social position."-French Studies
