Week 3.2: Colonial Society in a Revolutionary Era

Abraham Burnias, The Linen Market Santo Domingo (ca. 1775)
Reading:
Jeremy D. Popkin, A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution, 1-34
The Code Noir, 1685 (course packet--bring to class)
Médéric-Louis-Élie Moreau de Saint-Méry, Description . . . of the French Part of the Island of Saint-Domingue, 1797 (course packet--bring to class)


Homework:
While reading A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution we will be using the double journal entry activity. The full directions are listed on the handout here, but remember to write 2-3 sentences per entry and each entry should come from a different subheading in the assigned reading.

You will also need to print and bring The Code Noir and Description . . . of the French Part of the Island of Saint-Domingue, both of which are located in your course packet. Reading these documents before coming to class will make our course discussion that much better.
