The Black Republic

African Americans and the Fate of Haiti

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Black Republic explores the critical but overlooked place of Haiti in black thought in the post-Civil War era. Following emancipation, African American leaders considered Haiti a singular example of black self-governance whose fate was inextricably linked to that of African Americans demanding their own right to self-determination.
