This paper argues, first, that despite the transnational impact of the Haitian Revolution, it remains mostly unknown in the Western hemisphere. This is primarily the result of an international racist project to repress the idea of Black Revolution and undermine Haiti’s progress. Second, I argue that, since the second half of the 19th century, intellectuals and social scientists have contributed to this racial project, and thus that scientific racism was born primarily as a response to the Haitian Revolution. The proliferation of racially oriented pseudosciences was part of significant efforts on the part of European and American intellectuals to undermine the notion of Black Revolution and Black power, and to demonstrate that Blacks were not capable of self-governance.

改变世界的奴隶起义及其阴谋：海地革命和科学种族主义的诞生

本文首先指出，尽管海地革命产生了跨国影响，但在西半球仍是未知之数。这主要是一个国际种族主义项目的结果，该项目旨在压制“黑色革命”的思想并破坏海地的进步。其次，我认为，自19世纪下半叶以来，知识分子和社会科学家为这项种族计划做出了贡献，因此，科学种族主义的诞生主要是对海地革命的回应。面向种族的伪科学的泛滥是欧美知识分子为破坏黑人革命和黑人权力的观念并证明黑人没有自治能力而做出的巨大努力的一部分。
