[Scholar Series - Ep. #44] "Fear of a Black Republic: Haiti and the Birth of Black Internationalism in the United States." A Conversation with Dr. Leslie Alexander

Part 2 picks up the story during the reign of Boyer. Listen as Dr. Alexander illuminates the ways in which some Black Americans became disillusioned with the policies and decisions made by the Boyer administration. Haitian independence influenced Black thought and action in the United States. Other Black activists in the United States continued to embrace a common identity with Haiti’s people, forging the idea of a united struggle that merged the destinies of Haiti with their own striving for freedom. A bold discussion on Black internationalism’s origins, Fear of a Black Republic stitches together the Haitian revolution to the global Black pursuit of liberation, justice, and social equality.
