Unveiling Haiti’s History: A Conversation with Dr. Marlene L. Daut on The First and Last King of Haiti
Dr. Marlene L. Daut is a distinguished scholar, author, and professor of French and African American Studies at Yale University. A leading authority on the history and literature of the Caribbean, particularly Haiti, Dr. Daut has dedicated her career to uncovering and amplifying the narratives of the Haitian Revolution and its enduring impact on the world. Her research delves into the intersections of race, culture, and revolution, offering fresh perspectives on Haiti's historical significance and its contributions to global intellectual history. She has authored numerous groundbreaking works, including Tropics of Haiti: Race and the Literary History of the Haitian Revolution in the Atlantic World, 1789-1865 and Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism.
Dr. Daut’s forthcoming book, The First and Last King of Haiti: The Rise and Fall of Henry Christophe, set for release in January 2025, is poised to be a defining biography of Haiti’s only monarch. By examining the life and legacy of Henry Christophe, Dr. Daut unravels the complexities of his leadership during Haiti’s post-revolutionary era, exploring themes of ambition, betrayal, and resilience. Her work, celebrated for its depth and clarity, has solidified her as a vital voice in reimagining how the world understands Haiti’s history and its revolutionary contributions to freedom and justice.
