- Narrowly focused examination of resistance by women slaves in early years of Haitian Revolution is based closely on documents collected by the French revolutionary commissioner Polverel. Specifically discusses active vs. passive resistance, arguing that although gender shaped the ways that women fought slavery, their actions cannot be separated from the resistance of other members of the slave population.
