    De Toussaint Louverture a Joseph-Anténor Firmin. Dos expresiones de la lucha por la libertad y la igualdad en Haiti
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2012) Arpini, Adriana
    The perspective of the philosophical ideas of history allows us to analyze two events in the struggle for liberty and equality in Haiti. The first focuses on the image of Toussaint Louverture and is based on two key documents that helps to understand his thoughts: the first known as the Constitution that he commissioned in 1801 to bring order to the life and economic output of Sain Domingue; the second was Toussaint Louverture´s Memories written by Louverture himself and first published in 1853 by M. Saint Remi. The second event focuses on both Joseph-Anténor Firmin as a central image and his work About the equality of human races, which refutes Count de Gobineau´s racist thesis.
