Slavery and Antislavery in Spain's Atlantic Empire
African slavery was pervasive in Spain’s Atlantic empire yet remained in the margins of the imperial economy until the end of the eighteenth century when the plantation revolution in the Caribbean colonies put the slave traffic and the plantation at the center of colonial exploitation and conflict. The international group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain’s role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer…
Slavery, Freedom, and the Work of Speculation
This essay serves as a response to two essays, by Sara E. Johnson and Laura Rosanne Adderley, written in response to the author’s 2014 book Freedom’s Mirror: Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution. The essay is a reflection on historical and archival method that argues for the value of informed speculation in scholarly work on slavery and black revolution
Haiti, Free Soil, and Antislavery in the Revolutionary Atlantic
History and the Idea of Hispanic Caribbean Studies
While Caribbean studies appears to be an established domain of inquiry, it often fails to fully incorporate the islands of the Hispanic Caribbean. Studies of the Hispanic Caribbean, meanwhile, are generally dominated by island-specific work. This essay considers the appeal and limits of the idea of Hispanic Caribbean studies for the historical study of the region. Historically, the Hispanic Caribbean at times included islands and colonies such as…
Freedom's Mirror
During the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1804, arguably the most radical revolution of the modern world, slaves and former slaves succeeded in ending slavery and establishing an independent state. Yet on the Spanish island of Cuba barely fifty miles distant, the events in Haiti helped usher in the antithesis of revolutionary emancipation. When Cuban planters and authorities saw the devastation of the neighboring colony, they rushed to fill the void …
Haiti, Free Soil, and Antislavery in the Revolutionary Atlantic
IN THE LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, the French colony of Saint-Domingue was the richest colony in the world. Set in the Caribbean Sea, a short sail from some of the principal American colonies of Britain and Spain, in the 1780s it produced about half of all the sugar and coffee consumed in Europe and the Americas. It was, in the nomenclature of the time, the "Pearl of the Antilles," the "Eden of the Western World." It was there, in late August 1791, …

Noticias de Haití en Cuba
Este artículo sostiene que en el estudio de la influencia de la Revolución Haitiana (1791-1804) en el mundo atlántico requiere que sobrepasemos las tradicionales referencias al miedo y terror. Parte de este esfuerzo supone la comprensión de la transmisión y naturaleza del conocimiento sobre la Revolución Haitiana tal y como fue expuesta. Aquí, analizo la información sobre Haiti que se introdujo en Cuba, que a su vez estaba sufriendo una transició…
La société esclavagiste cubaine et la révolution haïtienne
sCet article étudie les répercussions de la révolution haïtienne (1791-1804) à Cuba. Il vise à aller au-delà des généralisations sur la peur et la terreur engendrées par les sociétés d'esclaves avoisinantes en révolution et à comprendre ainsi les multiples références à Haïti. Á Cuba, la révolution haïtienne a eu des effets paradoxaux : elle a, d'une part, proposé un exemple de la révolution des esclaves et, d'autre part, contribué à la consolidat…

Insurgent Cuba
In the late nineteenth century, in an age of ascendant racism and imperial expansion, there emerged in Cuba a movement that unified black, mulatto, and white men in an attack on Europe's oldest empire, with the goal of creating a nation explicitly defined as antiracist. This book tells the story of the thirty-year unfolding and undoing of that movement. Ada Ferrer examines the participation of black and mulatto Cubans in nationalist insurgency fr…
Nationalizing Blackness
Cuba, 1898
Rustic Men, Civilized Nation
The year I898 marked a momentous transformation: the collapse of a fourhundred-year-old Spanish empire and the formal emergence of a new and significandy more powerful American one. Seen from the perspectives of the metropoles, this transformation takes on the look of inevitabilityof the forward and inexorable march of time and history. The old empire, Spain, lost its last two possessions in the Americas long after the onset of its imperial decli…
The Representation of Slavery in Cuban Fiction
By focusing on six antislavery writers during a time when censorship curtailed Cuban aspirations to autonomy, Williams traces the emergence of a national consciousness and deepens our understanding of the social and cultural dynamics of Cuban society in the nineteenth century
