Colonialism and Science: Saint Domingue and the Old Regime
|
Review
"That one book can successfully address topics of such importance and bring them to rare clarity, coupled with an unprecedented use of archives, means that it is a major book and its author needs to be placed in the first tier of his generation's European historians." - Eighteenth-Century Studies "By deftly weaving together imperialism and science in the story of French colonialism, [McClellan]... brings to light the history of an almost forgotten colony." - Journal of Modern History "McClellan has produced an impressive case study offering excellent surveys of Saint Domingue's colonial history and its history of science." - Isis"
