Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand - Über dieses Buch >Xango< und der Folgeband >Petersilie< geben Einblicke in ekstatische Einweihungsriten, in den Zusammenhang von Sexualität, Politik und Gewalt, in die Psychologie von Armut und Unterdrückung. Rund fünfzig Millionen Menschen im karibisch-mittel- und lateinamerikanischen Raum hängen diesen aus afrikanischen, christlichen und indianischen Religionen gespeisten Mischkulten an, die Hubert Fichte als erster forschend beobachtet und schriftlich vermittelt hat. Wolf Wondratschek schrieb beim Erscheinen der Erstausgabe: »Hubert Fichte bereiste Bahia, Haiti und Trinidad auf der Suche nach Voudou, dieser großen, in zahllosen Einzelgötter, Mischreligionen und Pflanzenkulte zerfließenden Gemeinschaft der Unterdrückten. Das Buch »Xango« ist der Versuch, persönliche Erfahrungen so ausgedehnt niederzuschreiben, bis daraus der Funke umfassender Information schlägt. Ein Buch also, unterwegs zu einer neuen Wissenschaft, der des Sehens und Beschreibens; und das ist Fichte zumindest geglückt, weil er festhält an seinem Vorteil, als Forscher keine andere Grundausbildung zu haben als ein schier unermüdliches Interesse für den Gegenstand; befreit auch von dem Handikap einer akademischen Unfähigkeit, die Menschen, die Ereignisse und Begebenheiten immer so zu sehen, wie es eine Theorie vorschreibt (...) Unter den deutschen Büchern dieses Jahres: eines ohne Konkurrenz.«. ISBN 9783596254361

1825WRCAM47136Port-au-Prince 1825. Watercolor 6 1/2 x 5 inches. Matted and framed to 10 x 8 inches. A few faint spots of foxing. Colors bright and fresh. Near fine. A handsome watercolor of Haitian general and president Jean-Pierre Boyer 1776-1850 who reigned over Haiti from 1818 to 1843. Boyer a free mulatto was born in Port-au-Prince but educated in France. One of the leaders of the Haitian Revolution he fled to France when Toussaint's uprising turned against the mulattoes as well as the whites returning with LeClerc in 1802. After independence Haiti split into two states north and south and Boyer served as the right hand of Alexandre Petion who established himself as president of the southern state. Boyer was appointed by Petion to be his successor in 1818 while Henri Christophe still ruled in the north. After Christophe committed suicide in 1820 and his young son was killed ten days later Boyer succeeded in reunifying the two states of Haiti. In late 1821 Santo Domingo became independent from Spain and Boyer swiftly moved to invade uniting the island under his rule by early 1822. In 1825 after agreeing to an indemnity he obtained official French recognition of the country for the first time since the revolution. <br> <br> At first Boyer's rule looked like a new start for the war-ravaged country and many free blacks from the United States considered settling there; but Boyer preferred to maintain a semi-feudal government and little was done to improve the situation. He stayed solidly in power until an earthquake was followed by an insurrection in 1843. Santo Domingo rebelled and won its independence back in 1844. Boyer fought back for over a year before fleeing first to Jamaica in 1845 and then to France where he died in 1850. He succeeded in lasting as president longer than any other Haitian ruler just edging out "Papa Doc" Duvalier for the honor. <br> <br> In this portrait which shows Boyer in three- quarter profile facing left he is dressed in his full regalia as general and president wearing a blue military coat trimmed in gold braid and a white cape with a red lining. This likeness closely resembles an engraving by Raban dated 1825 which is probably based on it. He is at the height of his achievements having just solidified his power by obtaining recognition from France. The portrait is signed with the initials "B.C." written in reverse in the bottom corner. An outstanding image of Haiti's fourth president. unknown books
1790WRCAM51150Cap Français Saint Domingue 1790. Watercolor 10 1/2 x 16 3/4 inches mounted on 12 3/4 x 18-inch card captioned in manuscript. Some expertly repaired tears and minor soiling. Very good. Matted. A fine perspective view of Place de Montarcher one of the major public spaces in Cap Français modern-day Cap Haïtien with the large Vallière & Montarcher fountain at center surrounded by a lively street scene. Cap Français was by far the richest port city in the colony which helped transform Saint Domingue from a languid outpost into one of France's most profitable and richest colonies by the time of the French Revolution. The image is signed: "Le Cher Largues. pinxit 1790." Original views from 18th-century Haiti are extraordinarily rare in the market. unknown books
