Abstract
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore was a witness of the upheavals of the Revolutionary Caribbean in 1802. The colonial novella Sarah indirectly represents the Napoleonic reestablishment of slavery in Guadeloupe through a plot centered on confusion over who is or is not a slave, a confusion with profound historical and philosophical valences.
