This article examines Hannah Arendt's concern for remembrance in political life in light of contemporary discourses regarding the memory of slavery and colonization in the African diaspora. Arendt's blindness to questions of exclusion within this context has given way to a set of critical debates in Arendt studies concerning the viability of her political project. In this paper, I give further contour to these debates by considering Arendt's discourse on revolution in light of an analysis of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804). In so doing, my aim is to deepen and challenge Arendt's understanding of the revolutionary tradition that she believes we are responsible for remembering and appropriating anew in political life today
