About this person
Beaubrun Ardouin also wrote the first Haitian textbook, Géographie de l'île d'Haïti and Instruction sur le Jury. Ardouin's historical writing attempted to put the Haitian Revolution in the context of other nationalist revolutions in the Americas. He had Euro-African ancestry and his family was free before the revolution. He has been criticized by 20th-century scholars for championing free people of color as the leaders both of the revolution and of post-independence Haiti.
