Mobility and the Enunciation of Freedom in Urban Saint-Domingue

Journal article

In Cap-Français, white residents watched nonwhite people move about the city and saw subversion. Joseph-Gabriel argues that such movement, whether walking the streets or carrying on trade and economic exchange, amounted to a claim on freedom, and that it was read that way by those who held power.

The essay follows three groups in Le Cap: Black prisoners, free Black property owners, and the traders who worked the city's racially marked market spaces. For each, getting about was a way of contesting where authority lay and who belonged where. On the eve of the Haitian Revolution, that movement registered to white observers as a loosening of the social and political order on which the slave society rested.

Nou Mache Ansanm (We Walk Together): Queer Haitian Performance and Affiliation

Chapman, Durban-Albrecht, and LaMothe · 2017 · Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory 27(2), 143-159

DOI · Journal article

Growing out of a symposium convened at Duke in 2015 on the eve of Fèt Gede, this introduction sets out what its editors mean by walking together. Mache ansanm is borrowed from Vodou, where lwa are said to walk with their devotees and related spirits are grouped as variations on a shared principle; the editors extend it to protection claimed by occupying space, to transnational friendship and material support, and to a collectivity that does not rest on shared identity.

Queer functions here as an invitation rather than a category, since Haitian genders and sexualities resist imported nomenclature. The frame is tested against events the editors lived through: a Port-au-Prince memorial for the dead of the Pulse shooting, Hurricane Matthew's destruction of the Grand'Anse, and the threats that forced a Haitian cultural foundation to cancel an Afro-Caribbean LGBT film festival and shut its doors for weeks.

Predicting Success in a Productive Asset Transfer Program: A Goat Program in Haiti

Thompson and Magnan ask what makes an NGO livestock scheme work. Handing animals to poor rural households has become standard practice for organizations fighting poverty among smallholders in low-income countries, yet evidence on whether such asset transfers deliver is only beginning to accumulate.

Their case is a program in rural Haiti that gave recipients goats along with training. Long-run aims such as better health, schooling, housing and farm output all depend on a prior step: recipients must build herds that stay healthy and reproduce. The authors measure herd health and growth across households, then regress those outcomes on household characteristics to test predictions drawn from work on asset-based poverty.

Wealthier recipients, they find, end up with smaller and less valuable herds than poorer ones. Location matters for herd growth, access to land sharply lowers the death rate among kids, and weaker evidence suggests women lose fewer. If the pattern holds elsewhere, NGOs gain criteria for choosing whom to enroll.

Sweet's research note opens not with Kongo but with a French colonist. Louis Narcisse Baudry des Lozières landed at Norfolk, Virginia, on February 26, 1794, after a four-month crossing from Le Havre that began in a storm and never improved.

Worse had come earlier. Two years before, with the revolution just under way, Baudry found his wife and daughter wandering in the woods of Saint-Domingue, driven from their home by rebels. He was an officer, wounded near Léogane, and most of the men under his command were killed. He fled the colony in March 1792, met briefly in Paris with his brother-in-law, the writer Moreau de Saint-Méry, and was soon exiled again, settling in Philadelphia.

There he worked as clerk, bookseller, and editor. He traveled North America, spent time with relatives in New Orleans, and recast himself as an authority on the natural history of the French colonies, lecturing to the American Philosophical Society and publishing on scientific subjects.

DOI · Journal article

Historians from Thornton to Dubois have suggested that Saint-Domingue's late-century influx of West Central African captives, many of them soldiers taken in the Kongo civil wars, helped make the 1791 insurrection possible. Davis tests that claim comparatively rather than restating it.

Working from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, he charts the regional origins of captives landed across the French Caribbean — Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and the smaller colonies alongside Saint-Domingue — and finds that only in Saint-Domingue did West Central Africans come to outnumber every other group by a wide margin, and only after mid-century, as Senegambia stabilized and the Kongo did not. Since Saint-Domingue was also the one French colony to produce a general slave revolt, he treats the overlap as strengthening the case. He is candid about the limit: the database records where captives were bought, not where they came from, so the argument leans on other evidence to close that gap.

DOI · Journal article

Convened for the centenary of the July 1915 landing, this roundtable brings Bellegarde-Smith, Dupuy, Fatton and Renda together, with St. Jacques and Sommers moderating, to ask what left Haiti open to occupation and what nineteen years of American rule bequeathed.

Much of the exchange concerns the nineteenth century. Dupuy describes a ruling class split between the old affranchi proprietors and a newer black landed group, an indemnity paid to France, Boyer's failed attempt to force cultivators back onto plantations, and the resulting opening for foreign commercial and financial capital. Renda reads the same refusal of plantation labour as an achievement, pointing to the lakou, to ritual practice, to storytelling and music as things peasants built instead.

The participants then connect the racial arguments that justified intervention, including the charge that Haitians could not govern themselves or cultivate their land, to present-day talk of failed states and humanitarian protection. They close on deforestation and its consequences.

Inhabiting Rights

Fischer · 2016 · L'Esprit Créateur 56(1), 52-67

Toussaint Louverture's constitution of 1801 is usually filed as an authoritarian embarrassment. Ardouin called it tyrannical, Madiou a lie, and Fischer does not deny that it hands one man enormous power.

Journal article

Toussaint Louverture's constitution of 1801 is usually filed as an authoritarian embarrassment. Ardouin called it tyrannical, Madiou a lie, and Fischer does not deny that it hands one man enormous power. She argues it is nonetheless a document of real interest for the history of rights.

Her case rests on how the text words its prohibition. France in 1795 had recast the ban as a limit on contract, something nobody may do to himself. The colonial text names slaves directly, puts their protection ahead of any general principle, and recasts the opening of the 1789 Declaration as a sequence of verbs: to be born, to live, to die, all of it free, all of it French, all of it here. Entitlement comes unhooked from birthplace, turning the colony into a refuge.

Rights here belong to an inhabitant rather than an abstract citizen, and the shift registers a history of transportation and death that abstraction had smoothed away.

Marronnons Let's Maroon: Sylvia Wynter's “Black Metamorphosis” As a Species of Maroonage

Thomas · 2016 · Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism 20(1), 62-78

Thomas approaches Sylvia Wynter's manuscript "Black Metamorphosis" from two directions at once, as a study of maroonage and as an instance of it.

DOI · Journal article

Thomas approaches Sylvia Wynter's manuscript "Black Metamorphosis" from two directions at once, as a study of maroonage and as an instance of it. The starting point is a line from Aimé Césaire, "Marronnons-nous," let us maroon, which Thomas treats as a neglected instruction and uses to track what Césaire's thinking meant for Wynter across the span of her career.

The claim that follows is double. Read on its own terms, the manuscript contributes to scholarship on maroonage in the narrow, conventional sense. But it also pushes past that sense, refusing to leave maroonage fixed as a bounded empirical reference to be catalogued.

Wynter's own phrase, "species of maroonage," gives Thomas his measure, and the essay counts the manuscript itself as one of those species: a sweeping political undertaking of African and diasporic resistance with anchor points across the Americas.

Journal article

For a state no other government would recognize, print was not decoration but diplomacy. Garraway examines the earliest published writing of independent Haiti, and particularly of Henry Christophe's northern kingdom, as a sustained attempt to make sovereignty real by declaring it in public.

Benedict Anderson's account of nations imagined through vernacular print fits Haiti badly, she argues: literacy was limited and the audience that mattered lay outside the country's borders. Haitian writers addressed foreign readers, argued their case in the terms of international law and of Enlightenment and Christian morality, and insisted not on Haiti's difference but on its equality with European states. In a country of former captives whose enslavement had been justified by an alleged incapacity for letters, publishing was itself an act of defiance.

Such writing also reached past the nation, speaking for people of African descent everywhere, and it had first to conjure the public it addressed.

“Haitian Habits” or Occupation Policies?: Harris Lifschitz and the Unevenness of State Building in Haiti, 1898–1921

Casey · 2016 · Journal of Haitian Studies 21(2), 121-151

Harris Lifschitz, an American who grew rich in Haiti between 1898 and his murder in 1921, serves Casey as a lens on US imperialism.

DOI · Journal article

Harris Lifschitz, an American who grew rich in Haiti between 1898 and his murder in 1921, serves Casey as a lens on US imperialism. His career shows how foreigners already operating in Haiti before the occupation moved into more profitable ventures once the Americans took control.

It also shows how patchy the occupation's state building was. Centralization went only so far: pockets of local autonomy survived and land titles were kept badly. Lifschitz stripped Haitians of property by pressing cases in Haitian courts, which lay outside US authority, by working the gaps in land administration, and by exploiting the occupation's habit of enforcing laws to the letter.

The case also unsettles any clean division between occupier and occupied. Marines first accused him of corruption they called Haitian; Haitians treated him as empire's instrument. He later borrowed the vocabulary and cross-border networks of the opposition movement, and some activists came to portray him as a martyr.

“To Start Something to Help These People”: African American Women and the Occupation of Haiti, 1915–1934

Byrd · 2016 · Journal of Haitian Studies 21(2), 154-180

When US marines came ashore in Haiti in 1915, they began an occupation whose damage outlasted its end in 1934.

DOI · Journal article

When US marines came ashore in Haiti in 1915, they began an occupation whose damage outlasted its end in 1934. Scholarship on how African Americans resisted Haiti's loss of sovereignty is well developed, Byrd notes, but it has centered on Black men and the institutions they ran, leaving Black women's responses thinly drawn.

Byrd recovers those responses and finds them mixed. Some prominent Black women went on describing Haiti as a place in need of civilizing. Others founded organizations that grew out of imperial language and at times leaned on imperial machinery to function.

Middle-class and elite Black women, in this account, were working through a shifting moment in Black intellectual life, holding to older ideas of uplift and respectability while also demanding Haitian freedom in radical terms. The article treats that combination as an opening into Black political culture, women's organizing, and American empire.
