Le planteur

Barbara T. Cooper, Hippolyte Monpou, Henri De Saint-Georges

Description

Histoire développée dans trois formes différentes, Le Planteur voudrait faire découvrir les conséquences morales, sociales et économiques de l'esclavage dans le cercle intime d'une famille. Ce qu'il faut retenir de cet ouvrage avec ses trois versions de la même histoire, c'est l'importance - dont témoigne ces textes de formes différentes - de la place occupée par le discours antiesclavagiste dans le paysage culturel des années 1830-1840.
