Priest and the Prophetess

ABBE Ouviere, Romaine Riviere, and the Revolutionary Atlantic World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In 1791 Haïti, the free black coffee farmer and Catholic mystic Romaine-la-Prophétesse led a mass insurgency under revelatory instructions from the Virgin Mary, whom he claimed as his godmother. Aided by the French Catholic priest Abbé Ouivière, Romaine would go on to conquer two coastal cities. Through their intertwined stories, Terry Rey offers a major contribution to our understanding of the intersecting role of race and religion in the revolutionary Atlantic world.
