“…The question of what it means to be human is crucial in the present human rights interest within the humanities. Humanness has received attention because, in the words of Sharon Sliwinski, “to be human, these [declarations of rights] resoundingly declare, is to be free and equal in dignity and rights” (Sliwinski , 18). In the human rights philosophy and legislation, humanness is a qualifier for rights and the linkage between the two has made it necessary to analyze our historically shifting conceptions of what it means to belong wholly and fully to the “community called humanity” (p. 17).…”

Charles Pigault‐Lebrun's play Le blanc et le noir (1795) is one of only a handful of French revolutionary plays to stage the Saint‐Domingue slave rebellion, a rebellion today better known as the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). I argue that Pigault‐Lebrun uses early melodramatic generic traits to develop a theatrical thought experiment revolving around three main themes: humanness, revolutionary legitimacy, and political order. Crucially, Pigault‐Lebrun does so by transporting French revolutionary figures and themes to the colonial setting, which means that his depiction of Caribbean revolt is seen through a distinctly Parisian lens. The first consequence of this framing is an omission of specifically Haitian concerns. The second is a particular infusion of colonial problems into metropolitan discussions. In analyzing this reciprocal transportation of figures and discourse, the article shows how the colonies not only affected the material lives of millions of Europeans but also influenced crucial questions of humanness, societal change, and political order.
