From C. L. R. James, Aimé Césaire, Alejandro Carpentier, and Edouard Glissant to Dennis Walcott, respected Caribbean writers cannot forget the impact of the revolution on the region and the world, but the way they depict it depends on their own understandings of the relationship that should be established between the independent republic and the metropole. Although one may not agree with their depiction of the revolution, by recounting it they not only keep it alive but also affirm that the Haitian people will not go away. Figueroa’s attempt to cover the work of a number of Caribbean and Latino writers in a single volume does not do justice to the ideological and cultural differences that many of them express. One lesson of these three books is that, while the Haitian Revolution is celebrated in Latin America and the Caribbean, there is no consensus among these writers on its centrality in shaping modern Caribbean and Latin American society. It is nonetheless refreshing and uplifting to read three books on Haiti by non-Haitian writers in which Haiti’s religion, culture, and history are celebrated for creating conditions that change the narrative on slavery and colonialism.

海地与世界体系的外围

从 CLR James、Aimé Césaire、Alejandro Carpentier 和 Edouard Glissant 到 Dennis Walcott,受人尊敬的加勒比作家不能忘记革命对地区和世界的影响,但他们描绘革命的方式取决于他们自己对这种关系的理解。建立在独立共和国和首都之间。虽然人们可能不同意他们对革命的描述,但通过叙述,他们不仅保持了它的活力,而且肯定了海地人民不会消失。菲格罗亚试图在一个卷中涵盖许多加勒比和拉丁裔作家的作品,这并不能公正地反映他们中许多人表达的意识形态和文化差异。这三本书的一个教训是,虽然拉丁美洲和加勒比地区庆祝海地革命,这些作家之间没有就其在塑造现代加勒比和拉丁美洲社会的中心地位达成共识。尽管如此,阅读非海地作家撰写的三本关于海地的书仍然令人耳目一新,令人振奋,其中海地的宗教、文化和历史因创造条件改变奴隶制和殖民主义的叙述而受到赞誉。
