In 1791, the slaves of Saint Domingue, present-day Haiti, revolted while singing the Marseillaise against the French colonial rulers. The "black Jacobins" thus demonstrated the indivisibility of the Enlightenment. This history of Haiti, which has been suppressed in the West, is currently being rediscovered in light of increasing global inequality. Connections can be found precisely in Hegel, who followed the events in the Caribbean. His reflections on the relationship between domination and servitude read like a commentary on the events—without Haiti being mentioned even once. Susan Buck-Morss confronts Hegel's interest with his philosophy and outlines the basic lines of a new universal history.
