The Haitian Revolution and the figure of Toussaint Louverture did not stay in Haiti. Jackson follows their afterlife in the United States, in African American music, art, cultural life and historical memory across the two centuries since.

The essay traces how those images, representations and ideals were taken up and reproduced over that long span.

"Our Hero": Toussaint Louverture in British Representations

Journal article

Once Toussaint Louverture became a character in books rather than a figure in politics, Pierrot argues, it grew easy to set aside what the Haitian Revolution meant for the global fight against slavery and for the rise of scientific racism. That sidelining happened despite the revolution having stood at the center of European political and philosophical argument while it was still unfolding.

Scholars in Atlantic history, working in literature and philosophy as well as history proper, have since turned to the question of how much Haitian independence contributed to the modern European idea of the nation, a concept usually credited to the French Revolution instead.

British writing about Louverture is Pierrot's evidence. Modern Europe held incompatible commitments at once, to freedom, to nationhood, and to slavery, and the British portraits show how that contradiction was made to disappear through the work of literature and representation.

Being Poloné in Haiti: origins, survivals, development and narrative production of the Polish presence in Haiti

Book

Rypson went to Haiti in 2001 to look into Vodou and music and came away with a different subject: the Poloné-Ayisyen, communities at Cazale and elsewhere who trace descent from the Polish legionnaires Napoleon sent to Saint-Domingue. The book is about how that story has been told as much as about what happened.

He works through its layers. There was the furious argument in the press at the time over whether Poles were going over to Dessalines, which the French pressed and the Poles rejected; the memoirs of the few officers who got home; a nineteenth-century Polish historiography preoccupied with foreign betrayal while Poland itself was partitioned; archive-driven studies of the 1910s and 1920s; and the journalists and historians who made the trip to Cazale from the 1950s on. Rypson is careful about which of these can be checked. A set piece is the 1983 papal visit, when the palest villagers were trucked to the airport with Polish flags.

Constructing Africa: Authenticity and Gine in Haitian Vodou

McGee · 2008 · Journal of Haitian Studies 14(2), 30-51

Gine, the Kreyol word usually translated as Africa, carries more than one meaning in Vodou, and McGee argues that the slippage between them is what makes claims about African authenticity work.

Journal article

Gine, the Kreyol word usually translated as Africa, carries more than one meaning in Vodou, and McGee argues that the slippage between them is what makes claims about African authenticity work. Gine names a lost continent, but it also names the world of the spirits, a forested place beneath the waters and behind mirrors. Songs that send prayers from Afrikan toward Gine show the two are not the same.

Understood as an aesthetic rather than a geography, Gine becomes a resource that can be claimed and fought over. McGee finds a parallel in Candomble, where practices presented as African survivals were assembled in twentieth-century Brazil, and reviews work by Richman, Apter and Palmie that sets aside the hunt for origins and reads the Rada and Petwo distinction through class, creolization and morality instead.

Priests, and later outside scholars and artists, helped fix what counted as authentic, though comparable distinctions were already legible to colonial observers.

Johannesburg: the elusive metropolis

Nuttall, Mbembe, Appadurai, and Breckenridge · 2008

Urban theory has generally cast Johannesburg as a case of irresolvable crisis: a city shaped by unequal economies and segregationist policy, receiving modernity from elsewhere rather than adding anything to it.

Book

Urban theory has generally cast Johannesburg as a case of irresolvable crisis: a city shaped by unequal economies and segregationist policy, receiving modernity from elsewhere rather than adding anything to it. This collection sets out to write South Africa's largest city into that theory on terms of its own.

The contributors take the classic accounts of metropolitan modernity and test them against what urban life after apartheid is actually like, the experience the volume calls city-ness. What surfaces is a city with many centers and an international reach, carrying a hybrid history that keeps working its way into the present.

Planning built on rigid rationalities and racial separation has been left behind. In its place the essays find intermingling and improvisation, and a distinctly local variety of cosmopolitan culture taking shape.

The volume opens where the Reformation did, with Martin Luther, presented not as a man carrying out a plan to remake the church but as a professor whose 1517 invitation to debate indulgences drew him into a quarrel he had not sought. What he wanted was the renewal of theology and of ordinary piety.

From there the century and a half to 1660 runs along two tracks. One is European and confessional: Calvin's Geneva, the radical and spiritualist currents around Karlstadt, Müntzer and Denck, the council at Trent and a wave of new Catholic orders, and the settlements reached at Augsburg, Nantes and Westphalia. The other is the extension of Christianity beyond Europe, marked by Jesuit missions to Japan and China and by the inquisition planted in Mexico and Peru.

Book

Thucydides wrote for readers who already knew where Acarnania lay and what a trireme could do. This edition assumes no modern reader does, and treats that gap as the reason the history so often defeats people who attempt it.

Around Crawley's translation the editors have set maps placed beside the passages they illustrate and naming only the places mentioned nearby, footnotes on geography and on disputed or corrupt readings, appendices on Greek warfare, religion and daily life, and an unusually full index. Because Thucydides moves season by season across every theatre of the war, the edition also supplies aids for following a single region through.

Hanson's introduction takes up the historian's own account of his method — first impressions distrusted, witnesses cross-examined, sites inspected — and the compressed, difficult style that later writers from Polybius onward were praised for imitating.

Journal article

Can Africa's poverty today be traced in part to the slave trades? Nunn builds the evidence needed to test the proposition, drawing on shipping records and on historical documents that identify the ethnicities of enslaved people to estimate how many were taken from each African country.

Matched against present economic performance, those estimates yield a consistent negative relationship: the countries that lost the most people are the poorer ones now. Showing that the pattern is causal rather than coincidental takes further work, and Nunn examines the historical evidence on which societies were drawn into the trades in the first place, alongside estimates using instrumental variables. Taken together, the results indicate that the trades damaged later economic development.

This Republic of Suffering

Americans of the mid-nineteenth century expected to die at home, surrounded by kin who would perform the rituals dying was supposed to involve. Faust shows how four years of war destroyed that expectation.

Book

Americans of the mid-nineteenth century expected to die at home, surrounded by kin who would perform the rituals dying was supposed to involve. Faust shows how four years of war destroyed that expectation. Soldiers died among strangers and enemies, cut off from the women who bore most responsibility for the care of the living and the dead, in numbers no existing arrangement could absorb.

She takes the war's death work apart piece by piece. Killing demanded more of soldiers than dying did, she argues, because it required a sharper break with what they understood themselves to be, as men and as Christians. Burial posed a blunter problem: what to do with the bodies left after Shiloh, Antietam and Gettysburg, which defied both logistics and imagination.

Behind the practical questions sits one Faust keeps returning to, why corpses matter to the living, and what a society discloses about itself in the care it gives them.

A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies

De Las Casas · 2007

Written in 1542 by a Dominican friar who had watched much of what he describes, this is a reckoning laid before the Spanish crown.

DOI · Chapter

Written in 1542 by a Dominican friar who had watched much of what he describes, this is a reckoning laid before the Spanish crown. Las Casas moves island by island and province by province, beginning with Hispaniola and going on to Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and the mainland kingdoms, recording massacre, forced labour, deportation and the emptying of whole regions now silent across thousands of leagues.

The indictment rests on law as much as on pity. The peoples of the Indies were subjects and vassals of Castile, not goods; the papal grant had charged the monarchs with bringing them the faith without inflicting harm; so the settlers' conduct offended divine law, natural law and Castilian law together. He was prepared to argue that they had just cause to make war on the Spaniards.

The pamphlet was one instrument in a campaign he pressed on his king, on the Council of the Indies, and finally on Europe.

Complexities of Imagining Haiti: A Study of National Constitutions, 1801-1807

Gaffield · 2007 · Journal of Social History 41(1), 81-103

Work on early nineteenth-century Haiti has leaned on the division between a mixed-race ancien libres caste and a black nouveaux libres caste.

Journal article

Work on early nineteenth-century Haiti has leaned on the division between a mixed-race ancien libres caste and a black nouveaux libres caste. Gaffield does not dispute that the split shaped politics and daily life, but argues that reading the country's first constitutions systematically brings something else into view.

Four constitutions appeared between 1801 and 1807, each defining Haiti differently. What they hold in common is a portrayal of the new nation as cohesive — a single imagined community, articulated in the official language of the state rather than in the divided terms historians have stressed.

The Caribbean of these decades was already unsettling long-established European ideals in politics, society, and economy; the Haitian revolution emerged from that turbulence and generated further change. Gaffield presents the constitutional record as material for broader study of nineteenth-century nation-building in colonizing and colonized societies alike.

From Saint-Domingue to New Orleans: migration and influences

Dessens (ed.) · 2007

Thousands of refugees from revolutionary Saint-Domingue landed in Louisiana, and their descendants have long claimed a large role in shaping New Orleans. Dessens takes the claim seriously enough to test it.

Book

Thousands of refugees from revolutionary Saint-Domingue landed in Louisiana, and their descendants have long claimed a large role in shaping New Orleans. Dessens takes the claim seriously enough to test it.

The hard part, she argues, is telling visibility apart from influence. The migrants were numerous and conspicuous, which is not the same as formative, and not every legend that has grown around them will survive scrutiny. She works through the migration itself, the reception the refugees met, the terms on which they settled, and then the mark they left on Louisiana's social, economic, political and cultural life, drawing on ideas of ethnicity, assimilation and creolization but applying them to this case rather than theorising them.

She insists on treating the refugees as one population in three legal conditions — white, free of colour, and enslaved — against a historiography that has tended to study them apart, and expects some of her conclusions to be disputed.

Chapter

Hometown associations sit at the centre of Pierre-Louis's account of Haitian New York. Organised around places of origin in Haiti, they ship goods, raise money for local projects and help officials at home set up nonprofits of their own, while doubling as advocacy bodies for their members in the city.

They also do identity work. Haitians arrived from a society where class outranked colour and found themselves assigned to a racially marginalised minority; the associations offer a setting where the history of the first black republic stays in view, immigrant enterprise is admired, and the differences of language and culture that separate Haitians from African Americans and other black immigrants are treated as assets.

Exile politics complicated all of this. Service organisations meant to help newcomers settle were led by people whose horizon was the fall of Duvalier and a return home, and several of them did return, into government.

Journal article

Desir offers a testimonial rather than an analysis, explaining why an eleventh-generation Dahomean born in Haiti, of Cuban descent, embraced a tradition routinely vilified or written off as useless in modern cities. Writing as both scholar and initiated manbo, she is struck by how little the academic and interfaith worlds know of Haitian Vodou despite a substantial body of serious scholarship.

She sets out fundamentals. The word means holy or sacred and comes from the Fon of the Dahomean kingdom, now Benin; related practices run across West and Central Africa and reappear in the Americas under names such as Candomble, Lukumi and Palo Monte. Vodou takes in the detail of other cultures while holding its own shape.

Her title comes from the Pwye Djo, which asks how one kept the ways of the ancestors, how one held Alada, the sacred city standing here for the African motherland. Initiation, she notes, means years of fomasyon toward konesans.
