Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions: Discourse on Race, Religion, and Freedom - Softcover
Synopsis
This work investigates the intersections of history, literature, race, religion, decolonization, and freedom that led to the founding of the postcolonial state of Haiti in 1804. Particular attention is given to the place of religion in the Haitian Revolution, as well as to the interpretation and representation of this singular event in the work of Frederick Douglass and Langston Hughes. The book also examines the multiple legacies and the problems of Enlightenment modernity, imperial colonialism, Western racism, and hegemony, and thus, studies their complex relationships with the institutions of slavery, religion, and Black freedom. Topics range from Makandal's postcolonial religious imagination to Boukman's liberation theology to Langston Hughes' discussion of the role of prophetic religion in the Haitian Revolution, and finally, the book compares Du Bois's theory of double consciousness with Fanon's theory of decolonization and revolutionary humanism.
