James's \u003ci\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of the great works of the twentieth century and the cornerstone of Haitian revolutionary studies. In \u003ci\u003eMaking \u003c\/i\u003eThe Black Jacobins, Rachel Douglas traces the genesis, transformation, and afterlives of James's landmark work across the decades from the 1930s on. Examining the 1938 and 1963 editions of \u003ci\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1967 play of the same name, and James's 1936 play, \u003ci\u003eToussaint Louverture\u003c\/i\u003e--as well as manuscripts, notes, interviews, and other texts--Douglas shows how James continuously rewrote and revised his history of the Haitian Revolution as his politics and engagement with Marxism evolved. She also points to the vital significance theater played in James's work and how it influenced his views of history. Douglas shows \u003ci\u003eThe Black Jacobins\u003c\/i\u003e to be a palimpsest, its successive layers of rewriting renewing its call to new generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478004878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478004875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020","brand":"Rachel Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986872205567,"sku":"9781478004875","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82349c80-b708-47bb-a5fb-3a2983cfd82f.jpg?v=1683285662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-the-black-jacobins-rachel-douglas-9781478004875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
