The Fire This Time
In Looking for Other Worlds: Black Feminism and Haitian Fiction (2022), Régine Jean-Charles evokes revolutionary figures such as Sanité Bélair and Victoria Montou, who fought in the Haitian Revolution.

Remembering these women is critical, not only because of the ideals they represented-liberation, justice, …
