Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions investigates the
intersections of history, literature, race, religion,
decolonization, and freedom that led to the founding of the
postcolonial state of Haiti in 1804. Particular attention is given
to the place of religion in the Haitian Revolution, as well as to
the interpretation and representation of this singular event in the
work of Frederick Douglass and Langston Hughes. This book not only
examines the multiple legacies and the problems of Enlightenment
modernity, imperial colonialism, Western racism, and hegemony, but
also studies their complex relationships with the institutions of
slavery, religion, and Black freedom. Topics range from Makandal s
postcolonial religious imagination to Boukman s liberation theology
to Langston Hughes discussion of the role of prophetic religion in
the Haitian Revolution. Haitian Modernity and Liberative
Interruptions also compares Du Bois s theory of double
consciousness with Fanon s theory of decolonization and
revolutionary humanism."
