Aims/Description: The focus of the course will be to analyse the historical development of the Haitian nation via the prism of Western imperialism and especially French colonial and post/neo-colonial history. Through the analysis of historical works but also of works of political science and works of fiction, this module will review the tragic history of Haiti and the ways in which this tragedy is closely intertwined with French imperialism and the development of global capitalism.
