Our subject matter here is the writing of the Haitian history worked out by French Caribbean writers (Césaire, Glissant, Placoly) who showed a liking for the heroes of the Haitian Revolution, Toussaint Louverture, Dessalines, Christophe the first, when they were tyrants and dictators. Connected with the hypothesis that a tradition of terror existed in the Caribbean, a colonial original catastrophe metastasized within the Caribbean imaginary, those Negro writings turn these emancipatory despots into heroes. However, a suspension of their aspirations will be noticed in front of the regime of the Duvalier dictatorship (Cazanove, Confiant). The intersections between the political issues of these writings of the Negro terror, the limits that are notified to them and the reconfigurations they outline in the Caribbean literary field today will be examined.
