Circe by Madeline Miller

A discussion is with Kir Kuiken and Deborah Elise White, editors of a new collection titled Haiti’s Literary Legacies: Romanticism and the Unthinkable Revolution, out with Bloomsbury Publishing in late-2021. Kir teaches in the Department of English at State University of New York at Albany in Albany, New York, and is the author of numerous articles and the book Imagined Sovereignties: Toward a New Political Romanticism, published by Fordham University Press, 2014. Deborah teaches in the Department of Comparative Literature at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she has written widely on 19th and 20th century literature and thought, and is the author of Romantic Returns: Superstition, Imagination, History, published by Stanford University Press in 2000. In this conversation, we discuss the place of Haiti and the Haitian Revolution in the Atlantic world’s literary imagination, the long shadow and persistence of romanticism, and the enduring significance of Haitian history and thought for thinking through issues of race, nation, revolution, literature, and conceptions of the new.

More on La Bataille de Vertiere

The Battle of Vertières (in Haitian Creole Batay Vètyè) was the last major battle of the Haitian Revolution, and the final part of the Haitian Revolution under Jean Jacques Dessalines. It was fought on 18 November 1803 between Haitian indigenous army, and Napoleon's French expeditionary forces, who were committed to regaining control of the island.

Vertières is situated just south of Cap-Haïtien (known then as Cap-Français), in the Départment du Nord, Haiti. By the end of October 1803, the forces fighting the expeditionary troops had already taken over most of the territory of St. Domingue. The only places controlled by the French forces were Môle St. Nicolas, held by Noailles, and Cap-Français, where, with 5,000 troops, French General Rochambau was at bay. 

The result of this battle guaranteed Haiti's freedom and by proxy started the liberation of Blacks around the world. It also afford the US the opportunity to purchase land west of the Mississippi through the Louisiana Purchase. This surge in liberation spurred revolutions in South America which is why countries like Columbia and Venezuela share Haiti's colors in their flags. 

Yeah, the actions of a few changed the world.
