Episode description as stored
<p>The Haitian Revolution is the only successful, permanent slave revolt in history, resulting in the creation of an independent state.</p>
<p>Haiti is also the first modern nation of the world to permanently abolish slavery.</p>
<p>So what happened the August night of 1791 when the enslaved people of what was known as Saint-Domingue, rose up and started burning plantations?</p>
<p>It's a history that involves American and French Revolutions, with the British and Spanish also waging in on the fighting.</p>
<p>Joining Anthony and Maddy is Marlene Daut, Professor of French and African Diaspora Studies at Yale University and author of several books on Haiti, including <em>Awakening the Ashes: An Intellectual History of the Haitian Revolution.</em></p>
<p>This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.</p>
