Tuesday, April 9th at 4:00pm<br>
Hiphop Archive, 104 Mt. Auburn St. 3R, Cambridge, MA<br>
Presented by the W.E.B. DuBois Institute<br>
<br>
In 1802, Haitian Revolutionary Toussaint Louverture was
deported to France, where<br>
he died in captivity in April 1803. Before his death, however,
he had the time to<br>
write a summary of his career that is a unique account of the
Haitian Revolution<br>
as seen by its most famous figure. Dr. Philippe Girard, who
is currently overseeing<br>
a critical edition of the memoirs, will give a presentation at
the intersection<br>
of history, literary criticism, and linguistics that will
cover the memoirs' historical<br>
relevance, their ties to the slave narrative genre, and the
memoirs' importance<br>
when retracing the origins of Haitian Kreyol.<br>
<br>
Free and open to the public. Reception and Q&A will
follow.<br>
