FYI,
Research in African Literatures  just published a special issue (vol. 35,
no.
2) devoted to "Haiti's revolution and independence (and beyond)," with a
preface by Edwidge Danticat, and a number of great articles by well known
specialists of the Caribbean as Jean-Franois Brire, J. Michael Dash, Joan
Dayan, George Lang, Jean Jonassaint, Martin Munro and so on (see table of
content at: http://iupjournals.org/ral/). There is also a fantastic
special
color insert that reproduces artwork by Franktienne (a premiere for
Franktienne work) as well as a painting of Toussaint by Edouard Jean.
