摘要

In A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution, Jeremy Popkin has brought clarity to the kaleidoscope of groups, personalities, shifting alliances, and rapid changes that characterized this period. Benefiting from the recent outpouring of work on Saint-Domingue and the Haitian Revolution, he has woven together primary sources and the latest insights from Haitian, North American, and European historians in an account notable for its sensitivity to contingency and complexity, and its firm anchoring in a global context.
