The Black Jacobins      
Toussaint L'ouverture And The San Domingo Revolution
In 1791, inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution, the slaves of
San Domingo rose in revolt. Despite invasion by a series of British,
Spanish and Napoleonic armies, their twelve-year struggle led to the
creation of Haiti, the first independent black republic outside Africa.
Only three years later, the British and Americans ended the Atlantic
slave trade.

Where is our Orwell, where is our Dickens?
No wonder the government remains virtually unbloodied when 
the voices of intellectual and radical opposition have fallen 
shamefully silent ...unquestioned civic rectitude, thickets of prose
...the ultra-inquisitive and demanding state of the future. So, 
think-tanks are doing the thinking - this hectic and verbose attempt 
to remake us into 'pro-social citizens'
