| Abstract: | Focuses on Haitian debates concerning popular political participation in the context of the Liberal
Revolution of 1843 and the Piquet Rebellion of 1844. The liberal challenge to the regime of
President Boyer gave room to a peasant movement, the 'Army of Sufferers' or the Piquets, calling
for black civil and political rights. Author traces 3 phases of the revolutionary situation of 1843-44
to show how political actors within Haiti debated various institutional and constitutional
arrangements. |
