Twin Pillars of Resistance: Vodou and Haitian Kreyòl in Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s Ti difé boulé sou istoua Ayiti [Stirring the Pot of Haitian History]

Past · 2021 · Latin American Literary Review 48(97)

DOI · Journal article

Past reads Michel-Rolph Trouillot's first book, written in Haitian Kreyòl in 1977 while its young author was writing from New York City during the Duvalier years, as a work built on oral material rather than official record. The essay works through passages where Trouillot folds Vodou songs, prayers, and vocabulary into historical narration, showing how that choice turns memory into evidence and puts ordinary Haitians at the center of the revolutionary decades between 1791 and 1804.

Both Vodou and the Kreyòl language, on this reading, took shape under colonial repression and became the binding forces of Haitian resistance. Past also follows Trouillot's account of nineteenth-century oppression under new masters and his unsentimental reassessment of Toussaint Louverture, whose government used Vodou to keep the population subordinate — a class-based pattern that hardened into Haiti's predatory state.

Past treats the book as an under-read masterpiece whose defense of Haitian spiritual practice and language deserves more attention now that both are under pressure.

Weathering the storm: contesting disaster governance after Hurricane Matthew in Haiti

When disaster strikes, the humanitarian operation tends to eclipse what survivors themselves do and want, particularly where the national state and international agencies are seen as carrying colonial power structures forward.

Melis and Jean spent four months in Haiti, interviewing people affected by Hurricane Matthew alongside state officials and humanitarian actors and running focus group discussions in Port-au-Prince, Jeremie, Les Cayes, and Dame Marie. Their question was what societal actors can actually do where state and society are sharply disconnected.

The response, they find, made existing tensions worse: aid became politicized and affected communities were largely shut out of decisions about it. Society-based actors negotiated the terms of assistance anyway, through public protest and quieter everyday resistance, and through social networks and aid structures of their own. A more locally led response, the article argues, requires closing the gap between society and state.

Afro-Mexican Women in Saint-Domingue: Piracy, Captivity, and Community in the 1680s and 1690s

DOI · Journal article

In 1683 buccaneers sacked Veracruz, the leading port of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Historians of piracy know the raid well; Sierra Silva argues that what it meant for women's history and for the study of the African diaspora has never been properly situated, falling as it did in a period when Atlantic slavery was expanding.

The article follows women of African descent seized in the raid, some of them taken a second time, and carried to Saint-Domingue. Contraband proceedings, parish registers, slave law and eyewitness accounts are read closely and against one another.

Attention to displacement, and to how these women withstood it, produces a different sort of story. Some married French colonists; some became free mothers of children who belonged to Saint-Domingue's gens de couleur. Their lives, on this account, reached beyond the captivity that brought them there.

Diaspora and ambidextrous management of tourism in post-colonial, post-conflict and post-disaster destinations

Seraphin, Korstanje, and Gowreesunkar · 2020 · Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change 18(2), 113-132

Travel by members of a diaspora back to their country of origin is the subject here, with Haiti as the case.

DOI · Journal article

Travel by members of a diaspora back to their country of origin is the subject here, with Haiti as the case. Seraphin, Korstanje and Gowreesunkar treat the topic as underdeveloped both in theory and in practice, and work mainly from existing data, supplemented by two culinary events staged by a Haitian chef based abroad.

Their findings favour diasporic travel over conventional international tourism for destinations that are struggling. It does not rise and fall with the season; visitors go past the standard attractions to smaller regional sites; and they buy local goods and services, putting money directly into local hands. They also act as informal promoters of the culture they come from.

For destinations shaped by colonial rule, conflict or disaster, the authors propose ambidextrous management as a way to sustain tourism, offering it as a template for other underperforming economies.

Isaac Sasportas was born in French Saint-Domingue around 1779, into the Sephardic Diaspora. Girard follows him to Charleston, where between 1793 and 1795 he lived with his uncle Abraham, a man caught up both in the American Revolution and in the political battles of the French one.

The nephew adopted the uncle's radicalism and carried it home. Back in Saint-Domingue he became a leading planner of an invasion of Jamaica, then British, meant to free the enslaved Africans there. Toussaint Louverture disclosed the plan, and Sasportas was executed in Jamaica in December 1799.

Marronnage in Saint-Domingue (Haïti) http://www.marronnage.info/en/

Geggus · 2020 · The American Historical Review 125(2), 581-583

Runaway advertisements placed by owners in colonial newspapers are among the few records in which enslaved people surface as individuals, with injuries, accents, clothing and friendships attached to them.

DOI · Journal article

Runaway advertisements placed by owners in colonial newspapers are among the few records in which enslaved people surface as individuals, with injuries, accents, clothing and friendships attached to them. Geggus assesses the online archive that has gathered such notices from Les Affiches Americaines, the Saint-Domingue paper that ran from 1766 to 1791, presenting each item as a photograph beside a searchable transcription.

He tempers the praise. The organizers overstate both the inaccessibility of the newspaper, microfilmed and digitized years earlier, and the neglect of the fugitive material; their bibliography missed much recent scholarship, and a published total of individuals identified looks to him like an error.

The verdict is still favourable. Jail registers of recaptured fugitives, unique to the French colonies and rarely studied, are now being added, which should permit comparison between those who got away and those brought back, and the project is expanding to newspapers from Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Louisiana and elsewhere.

Remaking the Catholic Church in Santo Domingo: Haitian State Reform and Its Consequences

Keane-Dawes · 2020 · New West Indian Guide / Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 94(3-4), 245-271

Laws passed by the Haitian government in 1824 secularized the Catholic Church's lands in Santo Domingo and placed the institution under state control.

DOI · Journal article

Laws passed by the Haitian government in 1824 secularized the Catholic Church's lands in Santo Domingo and placed the institution under state control. Working from correspondence, pamphlets and petitions, Keane-Dawes argues that these reforms produced a new distribution of power, one that drew local communities into the workings of both secular and religious institutions.

The article also joins two bodies of scholarship that seldom meet: work on what Haitian unification did to the Church in Santo Domingo, and work on Haiti's diplomatic efforts to secure its sovereignty in the Atlantic world.

It begins with the differing church-state relationships on either side of the island and the conflict these generated after the annexation of 1822, turns to how the clergy responded to Haitian rule and to the 1824 secularization law, and closes on what the reforms meant for ordinary communities and their priests.

Trouillot begins by quoting, without attribution, a lush paragraph about Haiti's beauty, cruelty and apartness — then identifies it as the opening of a sensationalist history by a Marine colonel who had advised Duvalier. The passage performs exactly what he wants to expose: it asks how Haiti is to be explained, then answers with a list of particulars that adds up to nothing but singularity.

Every society is unique, he observes, and nobody keeps repeating the point about Paraguay or Madagascar. The insistence on Haitian exceptionalism therefore serves other ends, and its pedigree runs back to nineteenth-century racist writing. Against it he sets the Haitian scholars of that same period, who defended the country in a hostile world by asking specific questions informed by international debate. Haitian studies cannot move until it drops the fiction that the country lies beyond comparison. The oddity belongs to the doctrine, not its object.

Journal article

Ulrickson examines how religion was actually practiced in Haiti during the presidency of Jean-Pierre Boyer, which ran from 1818 to 1843, and asks how citizens pictured their own relationship to God at a moment when the state wanted a national Haitian Catholic church.

The entry point is a lay confraternity in Cap-Haïtien devoted to the Sacred Heart. From it Ulrickson argues that Catholic institutions in the early independence years were built by ordinary believers as much as by officials, and that much of this construction was under way before the government had regularized its standing with the Holy See.

The devotions themselves came from many directions across the Atlantic world. That variety, on this account, fed back into the making of the nation, and particularly into the presidency's ambition for a Catholicism that was nationalized and distinctly Haitian.

"A Very Curious Game": The Racialized Public Diplomacy of Toussaint Louverture in the United States

Johnson · 2019 · Journal of Caribbean History 53(1), 82-116

American readers first met Toussaint Louverture through their newspapers, which cast him as a commander in the field and as a figure who shielded white residents during the fighting in Saint-Domingue.

DOI · Journal article

American readers first met Toussaint Louverture through their newspapers, which cast him as a commander in the field and as a figure who shielded white residents during the fighting in Saint-Domingue. Johnson shows that this was no accident of coverage.

Louverture worked deliberately to place those images before audiences around the Atlantic, aiming to calm white American anxiety about Black insurrection, an anxiety fed by racial prejudice and by the slanted way US papers reported the revolution. Johnson treats the effort as strategic public diplomacy: Louverture shaped the news that traveled north for white American consumption.

The essay tracks what he did between 1795 and 1802, as his position in Hispaniola shifted and his self-presentation shifted with it, always with the aim of making white Americans willing to imagine formal relations with an independent nation governed by Black people in the Caribbean. Even after his arrest, deportation and death, the fascination he had cultivated persisted.

Haiti’s Hidden Archives and Accidental Archivists: A View on the Private Collections and Their Keepers at the Heart of Safeguarding the Nation’s Classical Music Heritage

DOI · Journal article

Haiti's tradition of European-style art music runs from the opera houses of colonial Cap-Français through Christophe's court, Geffrard's national music school, a long salon culture, and the conservatory founded under Magloire. Very little of the resulting paper survives in institutions. Dirksen's subject is the private collections — scores, manuscripts, correspondence — kept in individual homes, and the people who happen to be keeping them.

Drawing on years of ethnographic and archival fieldwork, she works through cases in which the only surviving music of composers such as Occide Jeanty, Werner Jaegerhuber and Justin Élie was lost, nearly lost, or salvaged by accident. The obstacles she catalogues are both practical and structural: climate, disaster, money, and contested claims of ownership. Behind them sits a harder question about whether this repertoire is understood locally as national heritage at all, and therefore whether anyone will judge it worth preserving.

Juste Chanlatte: A Haitian Life

Pierrot · 2019 · Journal of Haitian Studies 25(1), 39-65

Juste Chanlatte mattered to the political and literary life of the newly independent Haiti, yet his standing has never matched that role: his writing has long been disparaged, Haitian critics included.

DOI · Journal article

Juste Chanlatte mattered to the political and literary life of the newly independent Haiti, yet his standing has never matched that role: his writing has long been disparaged, Haitian critics included. The record of the man is thin in the same way. Even the date of his birth is uncertain, and what he did during the Revolution is largely a matter of guesswork.

The gap is widest across the ten years that begin with the British landing of 1793 and close with the rout of Leclerc's expedition in 1803, a stretch his biographers have filled in by conjecture. Pierrot shows where the conjecture came from: accounts composed after Chanlatte's death, seldom supported by references, and frequently written by people with no sympathy for him.

Against that inherited picture Pierrot sets French colonial paperwork and other archival material, building the fullest life of Chanlatte yet written.

Descriptions of Haiti as failed, cursed, or fragile are the target here. Lamour sets them aside and works instead from interviews and life stories with Haitian women, from project documents drawn up for women after the earthquake, and from the talk that circulated about those women in the rooms where decisions were made.

What emerges is a tight relationship between political decision makers of both sexes, NGOs, and the ordering of gender in Haitian society. Reading from inside Haiti rather than from outside it, Lamour reworks governmentality and proposes irresponsibility as a skill that those in dominant positions hold.

Decision makers occupy a traditional place in an unequal society, and that position keeps them from shouldering the population's difficulties; instead those difficulties are pushed into families and onto women, with NGOs assisting. Irresponsibility, on this argument, is a form of politics in its own right, the equal of responsibility, in a state that has long refused to become one.
