The slave uprising in Haiti was a momentous contribution to the tide of revolution that swept over the Western world at the end of the 1700s. A brutal rebellion that strove to overturn a vicious system of slavery, the uprising successfully transformed Haiti from a European colony to the world's first Black republic. From the center of this horrific maelstrom, the heroic figure of Toussaint Louverture-a loyal, literate slave and both a devout Catholic and Vodouisant-emerges as the man who will take the merciless fires of violence and vengeance and forge a revolutionary war fueled by liberty and equality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bell assembles a kaleidoscopic portrait of this seminal movement through a tableau of characters that encompass black, white, male, female, rich, poor, free and enslaved. Pulsing with brilliant detail, \u003ci\u003eAll Soul's Rising\u003c\/i\u003e provides a visceral sense of the pain, terror, confusion, and triumph of revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400076536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.24w x 0.99d","brand":"Madison Smartt Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067670560949,"sku":"9781400076536","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a41083da-79e2-46c2-9d69-b76ea6a6f4d4.jpg?v=1690862696","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/all-souls-rising-a-novel-of-haiti-1-9781400076536","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
