Moreau de Saint-Méry — Gallica Collection

A Gallica collection of 19 OCR'd documents centered on the work of Moreau de Saint-Méry, including a volume of his Loix et Constitutions and contemporary pamphlets, journals, and tracts from 1780s–1789 Saint-Domingue. The collection documents colonial law, racial classification, the legal status of affranchis, slave codes, and the ideological architecture of the plantation system — while Jean Casimir's critique identifies Moreau's tripartite racial taxonomy (whites / affranchis / slaves) as a colonial ideological machine that Haitian historiography subsequently absorbed.
