Too Soon to Rejoice?: The Battle for Haitian Recognition in the U.S. Civil War Era -- Epilogue: We Have Not Yet Forgiven Haiti for Being Black."The emergence of Haiti as a sovereign Black nation lit a beacon of hope for Black people throughout the African diaspora. Leslie M. Alexander's study reveals the untold story of how free and enslaved Black people in the United States defended the young Caribbean nation from forces intent on maintaining slavery and white supremacy. Concentrating on Haiti's place in the history of Black internationalism, Alexander illuminates the ways Haitian independence influenced Black thought and action in the United States. As she shows, Haiti embodied what whites feared most: Black revolution and Black victory. Thus inspired, Black activists in the United States embraced a common identity with Haiti's people, forging the idea of a united struggle that merged the destinies of Haiti with their own striving for freedom. A bold exploration of Black internationalism's origins, Fear of a Black Republic links the Haitian revolution to the global Black pursuit of liberation, justice, and social equality."--Provided by publisher.Black internationalism.Haiti and the birth of Black internationalism in the United StatesRace relationsfast(OCoLC)fst01086509Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741International relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00977053Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)fast(OCoLC)fst00972484Emigration and immigrationfast(OCoLC)fst00908690Black nationalismfast(OCoLC)fst00833733African AmericansRelations with Haitiansfast(OCoLC)fst00799678African AmericansRelations with HaitiansAfrican AmericansPolitical activityHistory19th centuryBlack nationalismUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesfastHaitifastHaitiPolitics and government1804-United StatesEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryHaitiEmigration and immigrationHistory19th centuryUnited StatesRace relationsHistory19th centuryHaitiRelationsUnited StatesUnited StatesRelationsHaitiHaitiHistoryRevolution, 1791-1804InfluenceHistory.Race relations.Politics and government.International relations.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Emigration and immigration.Black nationalism.African AmericansRelations with Haitians.African AmericansRelations with Haitians.African AmericansPolitical activityHistoryBlack nationalismHistory320.54/6097309034Alexander Leslie M.1727022DLCDLCMiAaPQCaOWtU9910839300603321Fear of a Black Republic4133683UNINA
