Description

It our great pleasure to welcome Dr. Marlene Daut, professor of French and African American Studies at Yale University. The focus of our discussion is her recent book, The First and Last King of Haiti: The Rise and Fall of Henry Christophe . This book takes us on a fascinating journey into the life and times of the Haitian revolutionary who would go on to become its only king. We also delve into the controversies surrounding his place in Haitian history and the wider international environment of the 19th century Caribbean world. Thanks as always for supporting the show.
