My paper discusses the ethics of living free or dying at the heart of the Haitian Revolution. Starting from this ethic of live free or die, I want to argue that the Haitian Revolution as the most radical critique of colonial modernity (Camilus 2017) offers an anthropo-sociological foundation for the construction of radical decolonial thought. If the Haitian Revolution, carried out by captives (Casimir 2009, 2018) challenges the philosophical and socio-anthropological foundation of capitalist colonial modernity, it has nevertheless long been ignored, inivisibilized, obscured, trivialized, even trivialized in the modern Western colonial world as well as in its academia ((Trouillot 2015, Delné 2017, Diaz Espinoza 2014, Le Glaunec 2020, Bhambra 2020). Moreover, for decolonial sociologist Anibal Quijao (2014), the Haitian Revolution being the first great modern Revolution designates the first moment of the disintegration of coloniality of power and articulates national independence, decolonization of social power and social revolution. For his part, Mignolo (2015) argues that it is a decolonial revolution. The Haitian Revolution occupies a second-rate place in the works of the majority of postcolonial and decolonial authors who refer to it. However, the Haitian sociologist Jean Casimir is the one who has given this event a prominent place in his works. On the one hand, he explains that "The Haitian nation is a response to the actions of the modern, capitalist and racist state." (Casimir 2018a). On the other, he argues that it signals the destruction of the slave production system (Casimir 2009). Ella overturned all racist ideas and offered a new era of history for all non-Western peoples suffering colonial slave domination (Hurbon 2017). Despite all these considerations, the Haitian Revolution is not theorized according to philosophical and anthropo-sociological foundations to offer a radical decolonial perspective with the epistemic foundation of the Live Free or Die ethic.
