Reviews

'Albanese's monograph participates in the well-established turn in American studies towards the transatlantic, the hemispheric, the transnational, and the diasporic. More specifically, the book will be a valuable addition to the recent revival in cross-disciplinary approaches to the relations between the US and Haiti in the long nineteenth-century … The book stands out as an attempt to combine this hemispheric approach with the epistemologies of queer studies and energy humanities.' Cécile Roudeau, American Literary History
