......and the Dogs Were Silent/......Et Les Chiens Se Taisaient

Available to readers for the first time, Aimé Césaire’s three-act drama—written during the Vichy regime in Martinique in 1943 and lost until 2008—dramatizes the Haitian Revolution and the rise and fall of Toussaint Louverture as its heroic leader. This bilingual English and French edition stands apart from Césaire’s more widely known 1946 closet drama.
