Beschreibung

Available to readers for the first time, Aime Cesaire's three-act drama . . . . . . And the Dogs Were Silent-written during the Vichy regime in Martinique in 1943 and lost until 2008-dramatizes the Haitian Revolution and the rise and fall of Toussaint Louverture as its heroic leader. This bilingual English and French edition stands apart from Cesaire's more widely known 1946 closet drama. Following the slave revolts that sparked the revolution, Louverture arrives as both prophet and poet, general and visionary. With striking dramatic technique, Cesaire retells the revolution in poignant encounters between rebels and colonial forces, guided by a prophetic chorus and Louverture's steady ethical and political vision. In the last act, we reach the hero's betrayal, his imprisonment, and his last stand against the lures of compromise. Cesaire's masterwork is a strikingly beautiful and brutal indictment of colonial cruelty and an unabashed celebration of Black rebellion and victory.
