| Summary: | "The Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 was the only slave rebellion in which slaves and former slaves succeeded in ending slavery and establishing an independent state, making it perhaps the most radical revolution of the modern world. Yet on the Spanish island of Cuba, barely fifty miles away, the events in Haiti helped usher in the antithesis of revolutionary emancipation. There, planters and authorities saw the devastation of their neighboring colony and rushed to prevent the same events from happening in Cuba by buttressing the institutions of slavery and colonial rule. Freedom's Mirror follows the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution in Cuba, where the violent entrenchment of slavery occurred at the very moment that the Haitian Revolution provided a powerful and proximate example of slaves destroying slavery. By linking two stories--the story of the Haitian Revolution and that of the rise of Cuban slave society--that are usually told separately, Ada Ferrer sheds fresh light on both of these crucial moments in Caribbean and Atlantic history"--Provided by publisher |

| adam_text | Freedom’s Mirror
During the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, arguably the most radi-
cal revolution of the modern world, slaves and former slaves succeeded
in ending slavery and establishing an independent state. Yet on the
Spanish island of Cuba, barely fifty miles away, the events in Haiti
helped usher in the antithesis of revolutionary emancipation. When
Cuban planters and authorities saw the devastation of the neighboring
colony, they rushed to fill the void left in the world market for sugar,
to buttress the institutions of slavery and colonial rule, and to prevent
“another Haiti” from happening in their territory. Freedom s Mirror
follows the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution in Cuba, where
the violent entrenchment of slavery occurred at the very moment that
the Haitian Revolution provided a powerful and proximate example of
slaves destroying slavery. By creatively linking two stories - the story
of the Haitian Revolution and that of the rise of Cuban slave society -
that are usually told separately, Ada Ferrer sheds fresh light on both of
these crucial moments in Caribbean and Atlantic history.
Ada Ferrer is Professor of History and Latin American and Caribbean
Studies at New York University. She is the author of Insurgent Cuba:
Race, Nation, and Revolution, 1868-1898, which won the 2000 Berk-
shire Book Prize for the best first book written by a woman in any field
of history.
