Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Official Letter From the Commissioners of Correspondence, of the Bahama Islands, to George Chalmers, Esq.: Colonial Agent; Concerning the Proposed Abolition of Slavery in the West Indies To await the maturity of time and of circumstance ab solutely necessary to convert slavery into freedom, and by the only means which can effect that change, with safety to the public weal, and justice to the owners, or real be nefit to the slaves, but ill suits the impatience of our abo litionists, now for the first time openly avowed. And because no hope can reasonably be indulged, that the colo nies themselves will adopt any very hasty measures on the subject, Parliament and the nation are vehemently called upon to interfere in a manner equally unconstitutional and unjust, and in palpable violation of the good faith of the country, and the repeated pledges, not only of government, but of the very party itself which has now at length une masked its last battery upon the falling fortunes of the colonies. The abolitionists, indeed, affect to speak of us, as if the work of emancipation had never yet been begun in the British West Indies: when in fact, it has not only had a beginning, but already made a degree of progress in most of the colonies, as we believe, and certainly in this one, almost beyond those limits, within which a cautious policy might have fairly restrained them. It is well known that all the islands abound in free blacks and people of colour that is, slaves or the descendants of slaves manua.

Book excerpt: The Haitian Revolution, the product of the first successful slave revolt, was truly world-historic in its impact. When Haiti declared independence in 1804, the leading powers—France, Great Britain, and Spain—suffered an ignominious defeat and the New World was remade. The island revolution also had a profound impact on Haiti’s mainland neighbor, the United States. Inspiring the enslaved and partisans of emancipation while striking terror throughout the Southern slaveocracy, it propelled the fledgling nation one step closer to civil war. Gerald Horne’s path breaking new work explores the complex and often fraught relationship between the United States and the island of Hispaniola. Giving particular attention to the responses of African Americans, Horne surveys the reaction in the United States to the revolutionary process in the nation that became Haiti, the splitting of the island in 1844, which led to the formation of the Dominican Republic, and the failed attempt by the United States to annex both in the 1870s. Drawing upon a rich collection of archival and other primary source materials, Horne deftly weaves together a disparate array of voices—world leaders and diplomats, slaveholders, white abolitionists, and the freedom fighters he terms Black Jacobins. Horne at once illuminates the tangled conflicts of the colonial powers, the commercial interests and imperial ambitions of U.S. elites, and the brutality and tenacity of the American slaveholding class, while never losing sight of the freedom struggles of Africans both on the island and on the mainland, which sought the fulfillment of the emancipatory promise of 18th century republicanism.

This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research Alexander von Humboldt amassed during his five-year trek through the Americas in the early nineteenth-century proved foundational to the fields of botany, geography, and geology. But his visit to Cuba during this time yielded observations that extended far beyond the natural world. Political Essay on the Island of Cuba is a physical and cultural study of the island nation. In it, Humboldt denounces colonial slavery on both moral and economic grounds and stresses the vital importance of improving intercultural relations throughout the Americas. Humboldt’s most controversial book, Political Essay on the Island of Cuba was banned, censored, and willfully mistranslated to suppress Humboldt’s strong antislavery sentiments. It reemerges here, newly translated from the original two volume French edition, to introduce a new generation of readers to Humboldt’s astonishing multiplicity of scientific and philosophical perspectives. In their critical introduction, Vera Kutzinski and Ottmar Ette emphasize Humboldt’s rare ability to combine scientific rigor with a cosmopolitan consciousness and a deeply felt philosophical humanism. The result is a work on Cuba of historical import that will attract historians of science as well as cultural historians, political scientists, and literary scholars.
