The book explores the significant yet often overlooked representations of black women in postrevolutionary France, highlighting their role in shaping national identity amidst the trauma of the Haitian Revolution. Through literary and visual depictions, it examines how these images influenced cultural discussions and perceptions, despite the small population of people of color at the time. Robin Mitchell delves into the intersections of race, gender, and national identity in a transformative period of French history.
