Summary:
"In The
Black
Republic
, Brandon R. Byrd explores the ambivalent attitudes that
African
American leaders in the post-Civil War era held toward
Haiti
, the first and only
black
republic
in the Western Hemisphere. Following emancipation,
African
American leaders of all kinds -- politicians, journalists, ministers, writers, educators, artists, and diplomats -- identified new and urgent connections with
Haiti
, a nation long understood as an example of
black
self-determination. They celebrated not only its diplomatic recognition by the United States but also the renewed relevance of the Haitian Revolution. While a number of
African
American leaders defended the sovereignty of a
black
republic
whose
fate
they saw as intertwined with their own, others expressed concern over
Haiti
's fitness as a model
black
republic
, scrutinizing whether the nation truly reflected the "civilized" progress of the
black
race. Influenced by the imperialist rhetoric of their day, many
African
Americans
across the political spectrum espoused a politics of racial uplift, taking responsibility for the "improvement" of Haitian education, politics, culture, and society. They considered
Haiti
an uncertain experiment in
black
self-governance: it might succeed and vindicate the capabilities of
African
Americans
demanding their own right to self-determination or it might fail and condemn the
black
diasporic population to second-class status for the foreseeable future. When the United States military occupied
Haiti
in 1915, it created a crisis for W. E. B. Du Bois and other
black
activists and intellectuals who had long grappled with the meaning of Haitian independence. The resulting demand for and idea of a liberated
Haiti
became a cornerstone of the anticapitalist, anticolonial, and antiracist radical
black
internationalism that flourished between World War I and World War II. Spanning the Reconstruction, post-Reconstruction, and Jim Crow eras, The
Black
Republic
recovers a crucial and overlooked chapter of
African
American internationalism and political thought."--Publisher website.
