Avengers of the New World and The Common Wind are probably my two favorite books on the Haitian Revolution!

I love COMMON WIND so much. I should probably give it a reread!

You’ve got me excited about this book! Once I get it, I may have to move it to the top of my TBR list. BTW: have you heard of or used the Toussaint Louverture DBQ? It leads to some great discussions.

I have looked at it, but never used it. I tend to teach the basics of the Revolution but our debates/written summative work focus on the aftermath (French reparations and the US occupation).
