Agosto 1791. Una scintilla accende la rivoluzione degli haitiani contro l'oppressione dei coloni francesi. I primi a sollevarsi sono gli schiavi neri, capitanati da un personaggio oggi leggendario: Toussaint Louverture, ex schiavo liberato, capopolo, guerriero e ribelle. È proprio lui a guidare il processo che, nel corso di dodici anni, porta alla proclamazione del primo Stato nero indipendente: diventa governatore, promulga la Costituzione, dialoga con scaltrezza con i colonizzatori europei. Fino alla tragica morte, da prigioniero, in una fortezza francese. Eppure, quella di Toussaint Louverture resta forse la più enigmatica tra le figure che contribuirono a delineare l'Età delle rivoluzioni. È tutt'oggi raffigurato su monete, banconote e magliette diffuse in tutto il mondo, ma l'unico ritratto che gli fu fatto in vita è andato irrimediabilmente perduto. Esperto conoscitore di autori quali Machiavelli e Rousseau, fu comunque liquidato da Thomas Jefferson come «un cannibale». Sebbene sostenesse di mirare a «dire poco ma fare il più possibile», la sua intensa corrispondenza riuscì a sfinire i cinque segretari che aveva all'apice del potere. E, nonostante avesse tentato di soppiantare la religione locale, alla sua scomparsa fu comunque venerato tra i loa, gli spiriti della cultura vudù. Grazie a uno straordinario acume interpretativo e a ricerche approfondite condotte su archivi inediti, Sudhir Hazareesingh ci presenta la biografia definitiva - avvincente e ricchissima - dell'eroe haitiano, delineandone la parabola umana e politica senza nasconderne le ombre (l'autoritarismo, il fatto che avesse avuto degli schiavi...). E, soprattutto, ci mostra come sia stato capace di incanalare nella propria battaglia l'eredità ibrida della cultura degli schiavi, nutrita anche di misticismo caraibico e tradizioni africane, fondendola agli spunti dell'Illuminismo e dei moti rivoluzionari europei. Il risultato è un ritratto vivido e affascinante, quanto preciso e ben documentato, di quello che l'autore stesso definisce «il primo supereroe nero dell'era moderna».

Sudhir Hazareesingh's How the French Think is a warm yet incisive exploration of the French intellectual tradition, and its exceptional place in a nation's identity and lifestyle Why are the French an exceptional nation? Why do they think they are so exceptional? An important reason is that in France intellectual activity is regarded not just as the preserve of the thinking elite but for almost everyone. French thought can sometimes be austere and often opaque, yet it is undeniably bold and innovative, and driven by a relentless quest for the regeneration of humanity. Sudhir Hazareesingh traces its tumultuous history in an enormously enjoyable and highly original manner, showing how the French ways of thought and life connect. This will be one of the most revealing books written about them - or any other European country - for years. Sudhir Hazareesingh was born in Mauritius. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and has been a Fellow and Tutor in Politics at Balliol College, Oxford, since 1990. Among his books are The Legend of Napoleon (Granta, 2004) and Le MytheGaullien (Gallimard, 2010). He won the Prix du Memorial d'Ajaccio and the Prix de la Fondation Napoleon for the first of these, and a Prix d'Histoire du Senat for the second.

'God was bored with Napoleon,' wrote Victor Hugo, and the Emperor was duly defeated at Waterloo in 1815 and exiled to St Helena, where he died an agonizing and horrifying death. The Emperor's real legacy is the modernizing and beautifying of Paris, the official promotion of religious tolerance, the current French legal and educational systems, and the European Union, to name but a few Napoleonic initiatives. And of course, the legend lives on. Drawing on new archival research, Hazareesingh traces not only the emergence of the Napoleonic myth and how it developed into a potent political culture, but also the amazing tenacity of popular affection for the Emperor, manifest in countless busts and portraits in ordinary citizens' homes, grass-roots political activism, miraculous apparitions reported after his death and the memories kept alive by thousands of imperial war veterans. This book is a timely study of why the fascination with Napoleon has endured for two centuries.

Human Zoos offers a fascinating, sobering and macabre tour of man's exploitation of man--that is, Western man's exploitation of non-Western men and women--as recorded throughout the early history of photography, from the 1860s to the 1930s and the invention of "humane exhibiting" of nonwhite persons. Freak shows, the circuses of Buffalo Bill and P.T. Barnum and European colonial exhibitions provided the occasions for most of these images, several of which were incorporated into posters, postcards and other ephemera, designed with an improbable jauntiness. Human Zoos traces the evolution of such paradigmatic conceptions as "specimen," "savage" and "native" for the designation of peoples as various as Native Americans, Asians and Africans from all corners of the continent. As horrific and compelling as it is brilliantly researched and compiled, this volume unflinchingly surveys the very recent history of the West's arrogant abuse of those deemed to fall outside its brutal terms of civilization.

The French writer Francois Mauriac once predicted that "when de Gaulle will be here no longer, he will still be here." This insight has proved prophetic. In contemporary France, Charles de Gaulle has become a figure of legend, consistently acclaimed as the nation's pre-eminent "historical" figure. Central to this popularity is the recognition of his pivotal role as the founder, and then the leader, of the Resistance movement during the Second World War. Once might be tempted to conclude that it is the man who became mythical, not the institutions he created. But here, the paradoxes abound. For one thing, his personal popularity sits oddly with his social origins and professional background. Neither the nobility, nor the Catholic Church, nor the Army is particularly well-regarded in France today: in their different ways, they all symbolize antiquated traditions and values. So why, then, do the French nonetheless identify with, celebrate, and even revere this austere and devout nobleman, who remained closely wedded to military values throughout his life? In the Shadow of the General resolves this mystery and explains how de Gaulle has to come occupy such a privileged position in the French imagination. Sudhir Hazareesingh's story of how an individual life transformed into national myth also tells a great deal about the French collective self in the twenty-first century: its fractured memory, its aspirations to greatness, and its manifold anxieties. Alongside the tale of de Gaulle's legacy, a much broader narrative unfolds: the story of modern France.

Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer wrote the central text of “critical theory”, Dialectic of Enlightenment, a measured critique of the Enlightenment reason that, they argued, had resulted in fascism and totalitarianism. Towards a New Manifesto shows the two philosophers in a uniquely spirited and free-flowing exchange of ideas. This book is a record of their discussions over three weeks in the spring of 1956, recorded with a view to the production of a contemporary version of The Communist Manifesto. A philosophical jam-session in which the two thinkers improvise freely, often wildly, on central themes of their work—theory and practice, labor and leisure, domination and freedom—in a political register found nowhere else in their writing. Amid a careening flux of arguments, aphorisms and asides, in which the trenchant alternates with the reckless, the playful with the ingenuous, positions are swapped and contradictions unheeded, without any compulsion for consistency. A thrilling example of philosophy in action and a compelling map of a possible passage to a new world.
