The occupation lasted close to two decades, from 1915-1934. Alexis argues for the importance of documenting resistance while exploring the occupation's mechanics and its imperialism. She takes us to Haiti, exploring the sites of what she labels as resistance zones, including Peralte's hometown of Hinche and the nation's large port areas--Port-au-Prince and Cap-Hai?tien. Alexis offers a new reading of US military archival sources that record Haitian protests as banditry. Haiti Fights Back illuminates how Peralte launched a political movement, and meticulously captures how Haitian women and men resisted occupation through silence, military battles, and writings. She locates and assembles rare, multilingual primary sources from traditional repositories, living archives (oral stories), and artistic representations in Haiti and the United States. The interdisciplinary work draws on legislation, cacos' letters, newspapers, and murals, offering a unique examination of Peralte's life (1885-1919) and the significance of his legacy through the 21st century. Haiti Fights Back offers a new approach to the study of the US invasion of the Americas by chronicling how Caribbean people fought back"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCritical Caribbean Studies 606 $aRevolutionaries$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01096578 606 $aHISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies)$2bisacsh 606 $aRevolutionaries$zHaiti$vBiography 607 $aHaiti$2fast 607 $aHaiti$xHistory$y1844-1915 607 $aHaiti$xHistory$yAmerican occupation, 1915-1934 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBiographies. 610 $aHaiti, Haitian, Haitian Studies, Charlemagne Péralte, guerrilla, US military, resistance zones, Hinche, Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, political movement, Haitian women, men, caco leader, caco, Caribbean people, Caribbean, liberty, equality, U.S. Invasion, violence, fighting, Second Revolution, Carib. 615 7$aRevolutionaries. 615 7$aHISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) 615 0$aRevolutionaries 676 $a972.94/04092 700 $aAlexis$b Yveline$01730049 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838223803321 996 $aHaiti Fights Back$94140432 997 $aUNINA
