"I remember this as somewhat of a difficult read but one that opened my eyes in a big way to the truth that history is a tale told by the winners...and of how that process comes to pass. I think it is a really important book and would like to reread it."
"Trouillet isn't writing for a mass-market audience, but he manages to be readable so that a relative lay-person as myself who hasn't been in accademia for almost a decade didn't feel too excluded. The book looks at how the Haitian revolution has been marginalized, misrepresented, or more often entirely silenced. Trouillet contrasts this to the rise of Columbus Day, where a minor (or most likely even non-existant) event became central to American mythos within the last century. Very thoughtful, challenging, and important."
