Beyond Tragedy
This study explores the relationship between past and future in neo-slave narratives that feature Black girl protagonists. Marlon James's The Book of Night Women tells the story of six enslaved women and their youngest recruit Lilith, as they organize a slave revolt in Jamaica at the end of the eighteenth century. In Rosalie l'infâme, Evelyne Trouillot traces the legacy of women's resistance in Saint Domingue through the eyes of her young protago…

World War II and the Rise of Feminism in Martinique
L’idée que le féminisme antillais est un phénomène du 21ème siècle et qu’il est encore à ses débuts est répandue. Néanmoins, plusieurs groupes féminins ont mené des actions féministes bien avant. Lors de la deuxième guerre mondiale, Le Club féminin et l’Union des femmes de la Martinique, entre autres, ont lutté contre le fascisme, le colonialisme et l’exclusion des femmes de la vie publique. L’auteure trace l’influence de la guerre sur leur pensé…
René Ménil’s Myths of Origin and Labor Activism in the French Antilles
Between January and February 2009, the longest general strike in French history took place in Guadeloupe and Martinique. The labor movement had far reaching implications for the relationship between France and its overseas departments. In particular, they brought to the fore France’s colonial history in the Antilles, with attendant questions of race, citizenship and sovereignty that highlighted once again the cracks in the image of Antilleans as …
Pan-Africanism in France
This chapter traces the contemporary history of the core elements of Pan-Africanist thought and activism in France in the 20th and 21st centuries. Scholarship that traces the rise and evolution of Pan-Africanism establishes a firm temporal and geographic divide that locates the movement in the African diaspora in the 19th and early 20th centuries and situates it as a primarily continental phenomenon in Africa from the mid-20th century to today. I…

Reimagining Liberation: How Black Women Transformed Citizenship in the French Empire
In the 20 th century, black women in the French empire played crucial leadership roles in anticolonial movements. This book harnesses untapped archival documents to highlight the work of Suzanne Césaire, Paulette Nardal, Eugénie Éboué-Tell, Jane Vialle, Andrée Blouin, Aoua Kéita and Eslanda Robeson, women who remain relatively understudied in scholarship that continues to privilege male politicians and writers. Examining the literary production a…

Mobility and the Enunciation of Freedom in Urban Saint-Domingue
The mobility of nonwhites in Cap-Français was perceived by the city’s white inhabitants as subversive, an enunciation of freedom. Walking and other forms of mobility such as trade and economic exchange constituted acts of contesting power and place in the colony. This essay examines the mobility of three groups of people in Le Cap—black prisoners, free black property owners, and traders in racialized market spaces—and shows how their mobility was…
Beyond the Great Camouflage: Haiti in Suzanne Césaire's Politics and Poetics of Liberation
Suzanne Césaire's essays in Tropiques make an important intervention in imagining a new Martinican and ultimately Pan-Caribbean identity during World War II. This study examines Césaire's joint politics and poetics of liberation in the context of dissidence in Martinique. A close reading of her essays alongside previously uncited personal correspondence reveals Haiti to be central to her vision for a Caribbean cultural renaissance after the death…
Creolizing Freedom: French–Creole Translations of Liberty and Equality in the Haitian Revolution
During the Haitian Revolution, members of the French government produced official proclamations containing laws that sought to regulate liberty and define citizenship for the ex-slaves. The proclamations were in turn translated from French into Creole to be read aloud. The signatures of Sonthonax and Bonaparte on these Creole documents bear witness to the role of translation as a vehicle for the movement of revolutionary ideals between France and…
