The Haitians
In this sweeping history, leading Haitian intellectual Jean Casimir argues that the story of Haiti should not begin with the usual image of Saint-Domingue as the richest colony of the eighteenth century. Rather, it begins with a reconstruction of how individuals from Africa, in the midst of the golden age of imperialism, created a sovereign society based on political imagination and a radical rejection of the colonial order, persisting even through the U.S. occupation in 1915. The Haitians also critically retheorizes the very nature of slavery, colonialism, and sovereignty. Here, Casimir centers the perspectives of Haiti's moun andeyo—the largely African-descended rural peasantry. Asking h...
Jean Casimir-Périer letters
Four letters and one calling card, all to unidentified addressees. The calling card, undated, and letter of March 5 (no year), deal with social matters; the letter of Dec. 9 (no year) informs a prefect of an upcoming local government ceremony and describes appropriate dress for the occasion; the letter of Dec. 25, 1892, sets up an appointment for a medical examination; and a printed official letter, dated Dec. 19, 1899 and signed by Casimir-Perier, invites a senator to attend an international congress on public assistance and private charity, to be held July 30-Aug. 5, 1900.

Haiti for the Haitians
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. The world-historical significance of the Haitian Revolution is now firmly established in mainstream history. Yet Haiti’s nineteenth-century has yet to receive its due, this despite independent Haiti’s vital importance as the first nation to permanently ban slavery and its ongoing struggle for sovereignty in the Atlantic World. Louis-Joseph Janvier (1855–1911) is one of the foremost Haitian intellectuals and diplomats of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His prolific oeuvre offered enduring challenges to racist slanders of Haiti and critiques of the global i...

La Invencic3n Del Caribe
"The unevenly clustered historical conditions of the Caribbean nations bind us to the revival and redefinition of the ideals of unification begotten by 19th Century Puerto Rican thinkers. Coleccion Caribena is intended to build connection points that will enable the exchange of ideas, languages and forms. In doing so this collection will reflect the plural character of the region while publishing a comprehensive sample of works in various fields-Literature, Social Sciences, Literary Criticism, History-and, hopefully in various languages. This translation of La Caraibe: Une et Divisible, by the well-known Haitian sociologist Jean Casimir, is an excellent work based on research into a wide variety of primary and secondary sources on the social history of the Caribbean."
