Dubois, Laurent — Avengers of the New World: The Story of the Haitian Revolution (2004) Source Information Author: Laurent Dubois Full Title: Avengers of the New World: The Story of the Haitian Revolution Publisher: Harvard University Press Year: 2004 Format: PDF Pages: 373 Type: Secondary Source — Narrative Synthesis / Atlantic History / Haitian Revolution Location in Vault: research/secondary-sources/ Full Text: dubois avengers.txt Status Text extracted: Yes — dubois avengers.txt Review pass: Completed (2026-03-26) — Wave 2 context-fill pass, focused on Dubois as a narrative and interpretive bridge across the whole revolution Chapter notes: dubois avengers ch notes Graph review in this pass: Created gallifet plantations, la fossette, croix bossale, and le jeune case; strengthened poison and resistance, august 1791 uprising, moc resistance, and moc timeline Overview Dubois remains one of the vault's most useful single-volume histories because he combines narrative momentum with serious historiographical clarity. He writes Saint-Domingue not as a colonial side story but as a central site in the making of the modern Atlantic world. The book is especially strong when the vault needs a readable but intellectually serious bridge between plantation brutality, African social worlds, revolutionary war, emancipation, Toussaint's statecraft, and Haiti's global afterlife.
