Reviews
This is a terrific book that brings new material and interpretations to a burgeoning field of study surrounding the links between the United States and Haiti and the place of Haiti in African American practice and thought. It places anglophone and francophone writing and scholarship into dialogue in an important and innovative way. -- Laurent Dubois * author of Haiti: The Aftershocks of History * Through impressive research and nuanced storytelling, the author paints a vivid portrait of Haiti’s enduring impact on the collective imagination of Black Americans...Wanted! A Nation! is a compelling testament to the enduring legacy of Haiti in shaping Black American identity and political consciousness. Bourhis-Mariotti’s diligent research and insightful analysis make this book an essential contribution to the fields of Black history and diaspora studies, among others. Her work, with the support of Johnson, shows the importance of translation and language studies for scholars who want to get a more in-depth view of the literature. -- Courtney Pierre Joseph * American Historical Review *
