Description
Peter P. Reed examines the meanings of Haiti in America's nineteenth-century popular performance. Plays, social performances, and literary narratives of Haiti's revolutionary slave revolts transformed racial revolution into popular entertainments and diversions, dramatizing themes of race, freedom, and power in ways that remain impactful today.
