The Logic and Historical Significance of the Haitian Revolution and the Cosmological Roots of Haitian Freedom (Arawak Monograph) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Logic and Historical Significance of the Haitian Revolution and the Cosmological Roots of Haitian Freedom is an exploration of the epistemological terrain upon which the Haitian Revolution has largely been located. It seeks to unearth/construct/reconstruct meanings of freedom more germane to the logic of the praxis of the Revolution as well as to the socio-cosmological ethos and epistemic culture of the people who constituted the motive forces of the Revolution. Overall, this essay seeks to design or to suggest an alternative way of perceiving, comprehending, conceptualizing and articulating the historicity and historiography of the Haitian Revolution and its significance to the world: a Revolution authored by Africans and their offspring who were pressed into enslavement in Saint Domingue and who invested the diasporic civilization they were fashioning, with nations of gods.
