"In this clear and impeccably researched volume, historian Leslie M. Alexander explores the imperative role Haiti and the Haitian Revolution played in the growth of Black internationalism, sovereignty and freedom. " --Ms. Magazine
“An impressive feat of scholarly research, unremitting in its focus on Black discourses and activities, as recorded in African American serial publications and institutions. The book luminously chronicles the hopes and dreams, the aspirations and yearnings, that United States Black folk invested in the Haitian Revolution and what it wrought, the sovereign state of Haiti.”--Michael O. West, author of From Toussaint to Tupac: The Black International since the Age of Revolution
