Abstract

2021 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice MagazineTurns to the written record to re-examine the building blocks of a nationPicking up where most historians conclude, Chelsea Stieber explores the critical internal challenge to Haiti's post-independence sovereignty: a civil war between monarchy and republic. What transpired was a war of swords and of pens, waged in newspapers and periodicals, in literature, broadsheets, and fliers. In her analysis of Haitian writing that followed independence, Stieber composes a new literary history of Haiti, that challenges our interpretations of both freedom struggles and the postcolonial. By examining internal dissent during the revolution, Stieber reveals that the very concept of freedom was itself hotly contested in the public sphere, and it was this inherent tension that became the central battleground for the guerre de plume—the paper war—that vied to shape public sentiment and the very idea of Haiti.Stieber's reading of post-independence Haitian writing reveals key insights into the nature of literature, its relation to freedom and politics, and how fraught and politically loaded the concepts of “literature” and “civilization” really are. The competing ideas of liberté, writing, and civilization at work within postcolonial Haiti have consequences for the way we think about Haiti's role—as an idea and a discursive interlocutor—in the elaboration of black radicalism and black Atlantic, anticolonial, and decolonial thought. In so doing, Stieber reorders our previously homogeneous view of Haiti, teasing out warring conceptions of the new nation that continued to play out deep into the twentieth century.

Abstract

It is a pleasure to comment on such an instructive and gloomy paper.1 Its instructiveness was particularly pleasurable, because it helped me see in a completely new light whatever I knew about the subject, not, as it happens, by virtue of any expertise I might possess in political theory, but rather by virtue of having lived for most of my life in what can plausibly be characterized (see below) as a severely divided society: Belgium. Less predictably, the paper's gloominess too was a source of pleasure as I prepared this comment, not at all because I enjoy learning that things go wrong, let alone understanding that they are bound to go wrong, but – quite the contrary – because the little I knew and understood about the subject implied, I thought, that I had some good news for the author. For his paper's central message I understood as follows: while we can get a pretty definite image of the coherent constitutional package needed by a severely divided multiethnic society, there are deep-seated reasons that such societies will adopt instead incoherent hybrids, which will do them no good. The good news will take the form of an argument to the effect that this grim message needs to be drastically qualified. Unsurprisingly (coming from a philosopher), it will rest on two small exercises in conceptual clarification, the crucial relevance of which will be illustrated by my reading of Belgium's constitutional development and debate.
