The idea of universal rights is often understood as the product of Europe, but as Dubois demonstrates, it was shaped by the struggle over slavery in the French Caribbean. He examines this revolution by focusing on Guadeloupe, where, in the early 1790s, insurgents on the island fought for equality and formed alliances with besieged Republicans.
