This book explores the different ways in which the early Haitian
state was represented in print culture in America and Britain in
the early nineteenth century. This study demonstrates that American
and British arguments about the most effective forms of governance
and political leadership impacted how Haiti's early leaders were
presented to transatlantic audiences. From the end of the Haitian
Revolution and the moment that Haitian independence was declared in
1804, conservatives and radical thinkers on both sides of the
Atlantic used Haiti and its early leaders as central frames of
references in discussions of political legitimacy. Against the
backdrop of a vibrant and volatile age of revolutions, the
different forms of governance adopted by Jean Jacques Dessalines,
Henry Christophe and Jean Pierre Boyer were used by writers,
playwrights and caricaturists to either support or call into
question the legitimacy of America's and Britain's own forms of
government.
