Haitian Revolutionary Fictions: An Anthology, edited by Marlene L. Daut, Grégory Pierrot, and Marion C. Rohrleitner

The Haitian Revolution's impact on the print culture of the Atlantic World has proved to be fertile ground for literary history and analysis in recent years.This work belongs to a multidisciplinary body of scholarship-from literary studies and history, to law, political theory, and anthropology, among others-that has sought to reevaluate the Haitian Revolution and its inheritance and to contest its prior denigration, silencing, and disavowal.It is thus entirely in keeping with the ongoing boom in Haitian Revolution studies that the field now boasts its own literary anthology, and a fine one at that.The editors of Haitian Revolutionary Fictions: An Anthology have, with an abundance of skill and care, excerpted, translated, assembled, and anthologized into a single volume a cornucopia of literary writings generated by the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, that spectacular corner of Black diasporic history that stands as a foundational moment in the making of the modern world.
