| Summary: | Since the 1990s, especially in Anglophone countries, the history of Haiti has generated renewed interest. This scholarship focuses on the revolution and its implications, but it hardly addresses the histories produced in the post-colonial era, which are the subject of this article. We focus particularly on one of the conditions of emergence, in the shadow of a huge colonial library, of this newer historiography, which took its main bearings from the political event (Independence) at the origin of its appearance. This historiography follows the paths opened up by the Revolutionary controversies which undermined colonial discourse, and which gave rise to a practice of writing action which positions itself as the past narrativised. It constitutes a sort of unmediated history concerned to discuss the conditions of validity of these very narratives. |
