Hegel, Haiti, and Universal History by Susan Buck-Morss

4.0

Excellent book! Definitely a recommendation for anyone who studies history since the discovery of the Americas. Buck-Moss discusses how much of an influence Haitian revolution and, by extension, slavery and the slave trade affected the daily life and the constructed identity, culture and landscape of Europe and the West. Her attempt to flip "history" on its head is excellent and very affective.
