By the late 1700s, half the free population of Saint Domingue was black and exercised a high degree of social, economic, and physical mobility. Covering the period 1776-1791, this study offers the most comprehensive portrait to date of Saint Domingue's free black elites on the eve of the colony's transformation into the republic of Haiti.
