520    A new interpretation of the life of the Haitian 
       revolutionary Toussaint Louverture Among the defining 
       figures of the Age of Revolution, Toussaint Louverture is 
       the most enigmatic. Though the Haitian revolutionary's 
       image has multiplied across the globe-appearing on 
       banknotes and in bronze, on T-shirts and in film-the only 
       definitive portrait executed in his lifetime has been 
       lost. Well versed in the work of everyone from Machiavelli
       to Rousseau, he was nonetheless dismissed by Thomas 
       Jefferson as a "cannibal." A Caribbean acolyte of the 
       European Enlightenment, Toussaint nurtured a class of 
       black Catholic clergymen who became one of the pillars of 
       his rule, while his supporters also believed he 
       communicated with vodou spirits. And for a leader who once
       summed up his modus operandi with the phrase "Say little 
       but do as much as possible," he was a prolific and 
       indefatigable correspondent, famous for exhausting the 
       five secretaries he maintained, simultaneously, at the 
       height of his power in the 1790s. Employing groundbreaking
       archival research and a keen interpretive lens, Sudhir 
       Hazareesingh restores Toussaint to his full complexity in 
       Black Spartacus. At a time when his subject has, variously,
       been reduced to little more than a one-dimensional icon of
       liberation or criticized for his personal failings-his 
       white mistresses, his early ownership of slaves, his 
       authoritarianism -Hazareesingh proposes a new conception 
       of Toussaint's understanding of himself and his role in 
       the Atlantic world of the late eighteenth century. Black 
       Spartacus is a work of both biography and intellectual 
       history, rich with insights into Toussaint's fundamental 
       hybridity-his ability to unite European, African, and 
       Caribbean traditions in the service of his revolutionary 
       aims. Hazareesingh offers a new and resonant 
       interpretation of Toussaint's racial politics, showing how
       he used Enlightenment ideas to argue for the equal dignity
       of all human beings while simultaneously insisting on his 
       own world-historical importance and the universal 
       pertinence of blackness-a message which chimed 
       particularly powerfully among African Americans. 
       Ultimately, Black Spartacus offers a vigorous argument in 
       favor of "getting back to Toussaint"-a call to take 
       Haiti's founding father seriously on his own terms, and to
       honor his role in shaping the postcolonial world to come.
