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."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBlack internationalism. 517 3 $aHaiti and the birth of Black internationalism in the United States 606 $aRace relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086509 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aInternational relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00977053 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00972484 606 $aEmigration and immigration$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00908690 606 $aBlack nationalism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00833733 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Haitians$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00799678 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Haitians 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitical activity$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBlack nationalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aHaiti$2fast 607 $aHaiti$xPolitics and government$y1804- 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aHaiti$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aHaiti$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zHaiti 607 $aHaiti$xHistory$yRevolution, 1791-1804$xInfluence 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aRace relations. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 615 7$aInternational relations. 615 7$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 7$aEmigration and immigration. 615 7$aBlack nationalism. 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Haitians. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRelations with Haitians. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aBlack nationalism$xHistory 676 $a320.54/6097309034 700 $aAlexander$b Leslie M.$01727022 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 912 $a9910839300603321 996 $aFear of a Black Republic$94133683 997 $aUNINA
