Essai sur l'administration de St. Domingue,

Essai sur l'administration de St. Domingue, published in 1785, offers a detailed examination of the governance of the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Authored by Abbé Raynal, a prominent figure of the Enlightenment, this essay delves into the complexities of colonial administration, exploring the economic, social, and political structures that shaped the island. Raynal's work provides insights into the challenges faced by colonial administrators, the impact of slavery on the colony's development, and the broader implications of European colonialism in the Caribbean. This historical text remains a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics of Saint-Domingue and the legacy of French colonialism.
