5.0

Boyd presents a very well-researched and presented intellectual history of the relationship between African Americans and Haitians from Emancipation to the dawn of Black internationalism. Not an introductory text -- be sure to know your Haitian and American history before beginning. Great book from an incredible scholar. The epilogue in particular was a beautiful piece of writing.
