Creole New Orleans in the Revolutionary Atlantic, 1775–1877
A Frail Liberty: Probationary Citizens in the French and Haitian Revolutions
Overview of the Haitian Revolution
The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was a key turning point in the Age of Atlantic Revolutions. The most successful rebellion by enslaved people in world history, it prompted the first direct colonial representation in a European legislature and created the second independent state in the Americas. Broad-based liberation from slavery won on the battlefield, ratified with the emancipation decrees of 1793-1794, and secured with the 1802-1803 war of …
Crossings and Encounters: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Atlantic World, by Laura R. Prieto & Stephen R. Berry (eds.)
Jean-Pierre Le Glaunec, The Cry of Vertières: Liberation, Memory, and the Beginning of Haiti
How and what we choose to remember, when and why memory is deployed, shapes our definitions of the Age of Revolutions. The asymmetric archives of the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804)—where the bulk of the written documentation is in the hands of the defeated French, British, or Spanish—makes full accountings of the end of the war (1801–1803) difficult. French officers, some of whom have since had their names engraved on the Arc de Triomphe, discuss…
Free Communities of Color and the Revolutionary Caribbean: Overturning, or Turning Back?
The Priest and the Prophetess: Abbé Ouvière, Romaine Rivière, and the revolutionary Atlantic world
Who were the Haitian revolutionaries, and what motivated them? This question has long provoked debate, as the answer also raises questions regarding the nature of slave rebellions, Black Atlantic p
Intimate Bonds: Family and Slavery in the French Atlantic. By Jennifer Palmer
Intimate Bonds is, at its core, a book about family and what makes a Rochelais family when slavery, long prohibited in France but allowed in the new overseas colonies, returns as a factor in French family life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Palmer's deeply researched volume uses notarial records, letters, and other sources to present microhistories of enslaved women and men brought to La Rochelle on France's west coast, and white colonists grapp…

Le Sens Commun ”: Atlantic Pathways and Imagination in Saint-Domingue's Affiches Américaines
Networks, tastes, and labor in free communities of color: Transforming the revolutionary Caribbean
Scholarship on free people of color in the Caribbean during the Age of Revolutions has focused on themes of mobility and resilience, with emphasis on the few remarkable individuals who pursued their freedom and respectability in imperially visible registers. These themes sometimes mask as much as they reveal. Mobility ignores those individuals who remain in place in families and communities, and resilience elides efforts by some free people of co…
Enterprising Women: Gender, Race, and Power in the Revolutionary Atlantic. By Cassandra Pybus and Kit Cardrin
Possibility and self-fashioning are the central themes of Candlin and Pybus’s study of free women of color during slavery’s apogee in the Caribbean. The authors draw on an impressive variety of manuscript and printed materials from archives in Great Britain and the Caribbean to present “mini-biographies” of women of color that push beyond the tropes of “madam” and “mistress” in which white, male, British writers placed them during and after their…
Navigating Haiti's History: Saint‐Domingue and the Haitian Revolution
The decade since the bicentennial of Haiti's independence has seen an outpouring of scholarship on its history, particularly on the course and impacts of the Haitian Revolution, which transformed the Atlantic world's most productive colony into the Americas’ second independent state and involved one of history's most successful slave rebellions. This new historical research builds upon a long, albeit scattered, historiography on Saint‐Domingue (c…
