Using visual culture, popular music and dance, periodical literature, historical memoirs, and state papers, Sara E. Johnson examines the migration of people, ideas, and practices across imperial boundaries. Building on previous scholarship on black internationalism, she traces expressions of both aesthetic and experiential transcolonial black politics across the Caribbean world, including Hispaniola, Louisiana and the Gulf South, Jamaica, and Cuba. Johnson examines the lives and work of figures as diverse as armed black soldiers and privateers, female performers, and newspaper editors to argue for the existence of "competing inter-Americanisms" as she uncovers the struggle for unity amidst the realities of class, territorial, and linguistic diversity. These stories move beyond a consideration of the well-documented anxiety insurgent blacks occasioned in slaveholding systems to refocus attention on the wide variety of strategic alliances they generated in their quests for freedom, equality and profit. 410 0$aFlashpoints (Berkeley, Calif.) ;$v12. 606 $aBlack people$zCaribbean Area$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBlack people$zGulf Coast (U.S.)$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity$zCaribbean Area$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity$zGulf Coast (U.S.)$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBlack people$xMigrations$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aHaiti$xHistory$yRevolution, 1791-1804$xInfluence 610 $a19th century history. 610 $aafrican american demographics. 610 $aafrican american studies. 610 $ablack history. 610 $ablack oppression. 610 $abooks for history lovers. 610 $acaribbean literature. 610 $acivil rights. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aengaging. 610 $afrench culture. 610 $afrench history. 610 $afrench politics. 610 $ahaitian history. 610 $ahaitian revolution. 610 $ahardships of minorities. 610 $ahistory and politics. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahome school history books. 610 $ainterdisciplinary study. 610 $alatin american literature. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $amigration of haitian culture. 610 $anonfiction history. 610 $apolitics. 615 0$aBlack people$xHistory 615 0$aBlack people$xHistory 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity$xHistory 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity$xHistory 615 0$aBlack people$xMigrations$xHistory 676 $a305.896/969729 700 $aJohnson$b Sara E$g(Sara Elizabeth)$01522928 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779222803321 996 $aThe fear of French negroes$93762914 997 $aUNINA
