Rohrleitner is Associate Professor of English at the University of Texas, El Paso, and coeditor of Dialogues across Diasporas: Women Writers, Scholars, and Activists of Africana and Latina Descent in Conversation.

A brilliant collection--readable, comprehensive, scholarly--and just the thing for a time in which teaching by regional/linguistic canon boundaries is increasingly out of step with scholarly knowledge and ethical frameworks to dehegemonize and desegregate humanistic traditions. " - Deborah Jenson, Duke University, coeditor of Poetry of Haitian Independence"Bound to become one of the most important works in the fields of Haitian studies, transatlantic studies, and Caribbean history. While there are a number of books, including new edited versions of novels, that focus on the Haitian Revolution, there is no other anthology that brings together such a large number of varied texts and provides such detailed and comprehensive analysis of this period. " - Cécile Accilien, University of Kennesaw, author of Rethinking Marriage in Francophone African and Caribbean Literatures"Haitian Revolutionary Fictions is a generous offering to its readers, an invitation to see more clearly the stakes of representing Black demands for freedom in a world that sought – and fought mightily – to deny such radical vision. The literary, in this volume, is shown to offer a unique prism through which to peer into the past, to allow for visceral encounters with the stories and ideologies that surrounded Haitian independence across time and space, language and genre. With elegance and true insight the editors of this exceptional anthology have crafted what is sure to be a reference in the field of Haitian Studies, of great use to researchers and students alike. The volume's careful presentation of its vast corpus is indeed a testament to Daut, Pierrot, and Rohrleitner's passion and erudition, to their certain faith in the worlds of scholarship their work encourages us to imagine.
