While in the last few decades the historiography of the Haitian Revolution has thrived, becoming increasingly central to the histories of the Atlantic World, Trinidadian intellectual C.L.R. James’s The Black Jacobins, first published in 1938 with a second edition published in 1963, remains the classic exploration of the Haitian Revolution. The book’s narrative sweep, elegant prose, and revolutionary force keep readers coming back to it, or encountering it fresh, even as more recent research has transformed our understandings of the events that emanated from Saint Domingue between 1791 and 1804, culminating in the creation of an independent black nation free from slavery.

在过去的几十年中，海地革命的史学蓬勃发展，在大西洋世界的历史中正变得越来越重要，特立尼达知识分子CLR James的《黑雅各宾派》（The Black Jacobins）于1938年首次出版，1963年第二版出版，至今仍是经典探索。海地革命。该书的叙事性，优美的散文和革命性的力量使读者重新回到书中，或者新鲜地体验它，即使最近的研究改变了我们对1791年至1804年间圣多明格事件的理解，最终创造了一个没有奴隶制的独立黑人国家。
