Opis

In this ground-breaking text, Dr. Celucien L. Joseph offers a critical analysis on Haiti's intellectual history by focusing on the ideas and writings of Haiti's foremost thinkers: Toussaint Louverture, Joseph Antenor Firmin, Jacques Roumain, and Jean Price-Mars. The basic argument Professor Joseph articulates in this text is that Haiti has produced a strong intellectual tradition from the revolutionary era to the postcolonial present, and that Haitian thought has not been homogeneous or unevolved--whether the subject might be history, religion, race, literature, or culture. Hence, the book explores the rich diversity of Haitian thought; attention is given to its cross-disciplinary and intersectional content. By carefully examining the ideas of Toussaint, Firmin, Roumain, and Price-Mars, Professor Joseph contends that the general interweaving themes of rhetoric, racial equality, race vindication, universal emancipation, religious unorthodoxy, secular humanism, universalism, and cosmopolitanism are representative of Haitian thought and engagement with modernity.
