Reading:
A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution, 35-61

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 Julien Raimond's "Observations on the Origin and Progression of the White Colonists' Prejudice against Men of Color"  which is located in your course packet. Reading this document before coming to class will make our course discussion that much better.
