Well-documented study on the replacement or reproduction of the colonial system among former slaves in Post-Revolution Haiti. "This Haitian post-revolutionary situation is revealing of the figure of the post-slavery subject or postcolonial subject. The radical nature of the Revolution does not exclude reversal situations. In the case of Saint-Domingue, the reversal takes the form of the return of the colonial slavery system in the instant after the revolution, when the slave becomes an accomplice of the master in the reproduction of the colonial relationship."
