Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-8. Like Lawrence's Harriet and the Promised Land (1993) and The Great Migration (1993), this book pulls together a stirring series of narrative paintings that tell a powerful story. With the pictures, Myers has written a biography of L'Ouverture and an overview of the struggle he led to free his people from slavery. The paintings were first exhibited in 1940 and are now housed at the Amistad Research Center in New Orleans. Rhythmic and intense, in strong shades of brown and contrasting white, the 41 frames are filled with movement and confrontation. After harsh scenes of plantation slavery, there are battle scenes with people marching and on horseback; in contrast is the desolate view of the captured leader dying alone in a French prison cell. Lawrence's narrative art style has been compared to the patterns of quilting and the vigor of muralist art. There's an immediacy to his storytelling, and this inspiring account of a freedom struggle will move middle-graders and older students as art, history, and biography. Hazel Rochman
From Kirkus Reviews
Myers (Glorious Angels, 1995, etc.), inspired by a series of 1930s paintings by Lawrence, pens a straightforward narrative, subtitled ``The Fight for Haiti's Freedom,'' about the freedom fighter Toussaint L'Ouverture. The story of the leader in the 1791 rebellion of black slaves against owners on the island that is now Haiti is well known. Through his victories, he abolished slavery on both the French and Spanish parts of the island by 1800. However, Napoleon sent many French troops, and L'Ouverture, duped by one of his generals, was captured and died in a French prison. The fight for freedom continued, however, and Haiti became independent in 1804. In an introduction, Lawrence recalls hearing, as a child in Harlem, street orators tell L'Ouverture's story; he responded with 41 stark, stylized paintings in a somber, matte palette, all reproduced here. Myers makes the story accessible, underplaying the text in light of the expressive paintings. (Picture book/nonfiction. 4-8) -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
