Abstract
In Une correspondance familiale (1791-1796), Madame and Monsieur de Rouvray offer abundant information about their emigration from Saint-Domingue to Philadelphia. Their letters suggest that their niece, the celebrated novelist Claire de Duras, acquired her knowledge of race and gender politics not through actual travels to Martinique but through her Saint-Domingue family.
