Webinar with Marlene Daut-The Life and Times of Haiti’s First, Last, and Only King: Henry Christophe

From the American Revolutionary war soldier to monarch, the story of Henry Christophe defies easy categorization and challenges what we think we know about freedom, power, and leadership in the Western Hemisphere. His is a story that spans enslavement and empire; a little-known history that inadvertently paved the way for the Louisiana Purchase, the Monroe Doctrine, and the coming of the American Century. Join Yale's Marlene Daut, Professor of French and African Diaspora Studies, for a compelling webinar exploring her newly published book, The First and Last King of Haiti: The Rise and Fall of Henry Christophe, which brings to life one of the most extraordinary—and misunderstood—figures of the Age of Revolution in the West.
