解説
Jean Price-Mars (1876-1969) was a doctor, teacher, diplomat, and one of Haiti's most visionary intellectuals. This biography offers the first comprehensive look at his writings, revealing a thinker dedicated to the transformation of Haiti, the advancement of his people, and the broader Black Diaspora.
From his rigorous education and intellectual formation to his engagement with social, political, and cultural issues, Price-Mars championed women's empowerment, gender equality, and transformative leadership. He reinterpreted the Haitian Revolution and Dessalines' legacy while articulating Pan-Africanist ideals that connected Haiti to the wider Black world.
A modernist scholar and pluralist, Price-Mars affirmed the validity of all religions while remaining independent of any single tradition. His humanistic spirituality and radical epistemology reimagined race, culture, and nation-building, offering a new vision for Haiti and the possibilities of Black achievement across the Americas.
This book presents a full portrait of Price-Mars as a thinker, reformer, and moral visionary, and a man whose lifelong mission was nothing less than the birth of a new people and the pursuit of the common good.
