Abstract:
This book studies the Haitian Revolution as a precursor for the Harlem Renaissance and how the rhetoric used in these events appears in Caribbean Negritude texts. Using these dialogical exchanges, Jenkins investigates how the Haitian Revolution and Harlem Renaissance tenets influence the modernization of Caribbean Negritude's development.
