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 how these systematically
marginalized and silenced people survived in the face of almost
complete political disenfranchisement, Casimir identifies what he
calls a counter-plantation system. Derived from Caribbean political
and cultural practices, the counter-plantation encompassed
consistent reliance on small-scale landholding. Casimir shows how
lakou, small plots of land often inhabited by generations of the
same family, were and continue to be sites of resistance even in
the face of structural disadvantages originating in colonial times,
some of which continue to be maintained by the Haitian government
with support from outside powers.
