The emergence of Haiti as a sovereign Black nation lit a beacon of
hope for Black people throughout the African diaspora. 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.
