Paperback / softback. New. A story of love, violence, and race set at the outbreak of the Haitian Revolution in 1791, African American writer Arna Bontemps's Drums at Dusk immerses readers in the opulent and brutal -- yet also very fragile -- society of France's richest colony, Saint Domingue. First published in 1939, this novel explores the complex web of tensions connecting wealthy plantation owners, poor whites, free people of colour, and the slaves who stunned the colony and the globe by uniting in a carefully planned uprising. The novel's hero, Diron Desautels, a white Creole born in Saint Domingue who belongs to the French antislavery group Societe des Amis des Noirs, attempts to spread his message of ""liberty, equality, fraternity"" in a world fraught with conflict. Imaginatively inhabiting a wide spectrum of Haitian voices, including those of white indentured servants, female slaves, and Toussaint L'Ouverture, who later emerged as the revolution's best-known hero, Bontemps's work reflects not only the intricacies of Haitian society on the eve of the revolution, but also a black artist's vision of Haiti in the twentieth century, during the U.S. Marines' occupation and at the brink of war in Europe. A new introduction by Michael P. Bibler and Jessica Adams reveals how Drums at Dusk -- even seventy years after its original publication -- contributes to contemporary studies of the American South as part of the larger plantation region of the Caribbean and inspires a reevaluation of assumptions about revolution, race, and nationalism.

Hardcover first edition - First printing. The third novel by this writer closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance, although at the time this was written he was living in Chicago, where he was also influential in the Chicago Renaissance. Set in Saint Domingue in 1791 at the beginning of the Haitian rebellion, this focuses on the white, privileged people of French descent rather than on Toussaint L'Overture, the leader of the revolution. At the end, Toussaint is instrumental in helping his friend, the young French hero, Diron, escape with Celeste, the girl he loves. 226 pp. Surprisingly uncommon in the first edition. Near fine in black cloth with red endpapers (some toning to the pages, rubbing to the lettering on the spine, but a tight and straight copy).
