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 andboth 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 byliberty and equality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49531488043281,"sku":"GOR006067257","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374036521233,"sku":"CIN1400076536A","price":4.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374038618385,"sku":"CIN1400076536G","price":4.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50952534753553,"sku":"CIN1400076536VG","price":4.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1400076536.jpg?v=1750794302","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/all-souls-rising-book-madison-smartt-bell-9781400076536","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
