In 1804, Haiti declared its independence from France to become the
world’s first ‘black’ nation state. Throughout the nineteenth
century, Haiti maintained its independence, consolidating and
expanding its national and, at times, imperial projects. In doing
so, Haiti joined a host of other nation states and empires that
were emerging and expanding across the Atlantic World. The largest
and, in many ways, most powerful of these empires was that of
Britain. Haiti in the British Imagination is the first book to
focus on the diplomatic relations and cultural interactions between
Haiti and Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. As
well as a story of British imperial aggression and Haitian
‘resistance’, it is also one of a more complicated set of
relations: of rivalry, cultural exchange and intellectual dialogue.
At particular moments in the Victorian period, ideas about Haiti
had wide-reaching relevancies for British anxieties over the
quality of British imperial administration, over what should be the
relations between ‘the British’ and people of African descent,
and defining the limits of black sovereignty. Haitians were key in
formulating, disseminating and correcting ideas about Haiti.
Through acts of dialogue, Britons and Haitians impacted on the
worldviews of one another, and with that changed the political and
cultural landscapes of the Atlantic World.

What happens when the President-Elect dies before the electoral
college meets? The answer is chaos. With no clear successor, Bob
MacKenzie, the ace political strategist for the deceased
President-Elect, must attempt to maneuver his man, the
Vice-President-Elect, into the White House. But it will not be
easy. He faces opposition from the current President, a former
President, and even his closest friend in politics. His most fierce
opposition, though, is from the runner-up at the Republican
Convention, Wayne Brackett. Bob considers him the most dangerous
man in politics who will stop at nothing to win. Despite Bob's
lingering feeling that the Vice-President-Elect really doesn't even
want to be President, he must ensure that Wayne Brackett does not
win the White House. Complicating the matter is the reappearance of
a former lover, whose motives he can't truly decipher. Can Bob
successfully negotiate the mindfield without destroying his
relationship with his friends and family? Strange bedfellows emerge
as a free-for-all ensues for control of the White House.
