Also known as: Doris Garraway, The Libertine Colony, The Libertine Colony: Creolization in the Early French Caribbean
Last updated: April 16, 2026
A study of creolization in the early French Caribbean that refuses to treat cultural mixture as a smooth or productive process, arguing instead that it was inseparable from conquest, sexual domination, and racial law. In the Saint-Domingue chapters Garraway shows that interracial desire and racial segregation were not opposites but mutually constitutive — colonial fantasy and colonial violence producing one another within the plantation order.
