Reviews

Salt addresses the way a variety of political, economic, artistic and diplomatic figures in and outside the country put forward competing visions of Haiti as a model of Black sovereignty, a protean concept they used in turn as a tool, a weapon, a commodity and a problem. [...] Salt's corpus is usefully broad and eclectic, examining representations of Haitian power in paintings, daguerreotypes, and photography. [...] The Unfinished Revolution is admirably ambitious. Gregory Pierrot, University of Connecticut-Stamford
