Haitian Revolution
The document summarizes the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1803. It provides background on Haiti, including that it was a French colony called Saint Domingue that was the richest in the world due to its production of sugar and coffee. The revolution was sparked by growing discontent among slaves and free black people influenced by the ideals of the French Revolution. After numerous slave revolts, Haiti gained independence from France under the leadership of Toussaint Louverture, becoming the first black-led republic. However, Haiti struggled economically after being required to pay a large indemnity to France.
The Haitian Revolution
The document summarizes the Haitian Revolution from 1791 to 1803. It describes the pre-revolution conditions in Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) where 500,000 slaves produced much of the world's sugar but were in revolt against their wealthy French owners. The revolution erupted as political instability in France opened up opportunities for the slaves, free blacks, and other groups to fight for control over the island in the aftermath of the French Revolution's declaration of equal rights. The scale of the slave rebellion was unprecedented and unthinkable at the time.

The Haitian Revolution 2016
Henri Christophe was a key figure in the Haitian Revolution who rose from a hotel worker to a military commander under Toussaint Louverture. He helped establish Haiti's independence and later declared himself King of Haiti in 1807, ruling the northern part of the country. As king, he established a nobility class and military ranks to bring prestige to Haiti. He developed the economy through exports and a stable currency. Christophe built elaborate palaces, schools, and the famous Citadelle Laferrière fortress before suffering a paralytic stroke in 1820. When revolts broke out in response, he took his own life, integrating his kingdom back into the Haitian republic.
Haitian Revolution English
The Haitian Revolution began as a slave rebellion in 1791 and resulted in Haiti gaining independence from France in 1804. It overthrew the plantation system and slavery, making Haiti the first black republic. The revolution was led by figures like Toussaint Louverture, who organized the rebel forces and established the foundations of an independent Haitian state. However, Napoleon sent an expedition to restore French control and slavery, leading to a renewed rebellion and war that finally led to independence under Jean-Jacques Dessalines and the establishment of the sovereign nation of Haiti.
Haitian Revolution
- The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 as a slave rebellion against French colonial rule led by Toussaint L'Ouverture. It proved highly successful, overthrowing the brutal slave system and establishing the first black republic in 1804.
- However, Haiti's victory came at great cost after years of war. The country was left with a devastated agriculture system, no formal economy or education, and deep instability that allowed dictatorial rule.
- While Haiti achieved the remarkable feat of being the first free black nation in the Americas, independence did not solve the challenges of development under such dire conditions from the revolution.
The Haitian Revolution
The document provides background information on the Haitian Revolution by defining key terms, describing the colonial history of Hispaniola and St. Domingue, and examining Haitian society and economics before the revolution. It notes that St. Domingue was a wealthy French colony on Hispaniola populated by white colonists, free people of color, and enslaved Africans in a stratified social hierarchy. Tensions rose due to oppression of slaves and free people of color, restrictions on trade, and inspiration from the French Revolution, which helped spark the Haitian Revolution to overthrow the colonial government in 1804.

Haiti: The devastation began in 1492
The document summarizes the history of colonial exploitation of Haiti and Africa by European powers. It describes how Haiti was forced to pay "reparations" to France totaling $90 billion in today's dollars for over a century after gaining independence. Despite resistance, Haiti has continued to face foreign domination and its people live in deep poverty as a result of colonialism, slavery, and neocolonial policies. The document calls for solidarity in the movement for African liberation and an end to the exploitation of Africa's resources.
Haitian revolution role play
Toussaint Louverture creates a constitution in 1801 that abolishes slavery and grants equal rights but does not declare independence from France. This angers the people of Saint Domingue and Napoleon, who invades. Despite Louverture's capture, resistance continues under Dessalines using scorched earth tactics. This defeats the French, and Haiti gains independence in 1804, becoming the first black republic, though faces economic struggles due to international isolation.
Haitian independence
Haiti was a wealthy French colony due to sugar cane production and had a large slave population who lived under harsh conditions. In 1791, a slave rebellion led by Toussaint L'Ouverture began fighting for freedom and within 10 years had freed Haiti from French control and emancipated all the slaves. However, in 1802 France sent soldiers to regain control and captured L'Ouverture, imprisoning him in France where he died. Despite this setback, France was unable to defeat the rebellion and Haiti declared independence, becoming the only successful slave revolt in history.
Beginning stagesofthehaitianrevolutionppt
The document summarizes the early stages of the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1799. It describes how social unrest was growing among the white planters, free people of color seeking rights, and enslaved people who revolted for better treatment. In 1791, the slave rebellion began in earnest led by Boukman, and the revolutionaries burned fields and buildings. The rebellion spread rapidly. Meanwhile in France, the monarchy was abolished and the French Revolution threatened neighboring powers. Toussaint Louverture emerged as a key leader, first helping the Spanish but later joining the French after slavery was abolished in French colonies in 1794. By 1797, Louverture helped expel the English from Haiti
Struggle for Democracy in Argentina
Juan and Eva Peron ruled Argentina from 1946 to 1955. During their rule, they implemented social programs that improved conditions for workers but caused government corruption and bankruptcy. After their rule, the military seized power in 1955 and launched a "Dirty War" that disappeared over 30,000 people considered enemies of the state. The military lost power after their failed attempt to regain the Falkland Islands from British control in 1982. This permitted free elections and the restoration of democracy under newly elected President Raul Alfonsin. However, Argentina still struggled with developing long-term political stability and economic challenges.
Silencing The Past
The document discusses how history can be silenced in its production, archives, and narratives. Specifically, it analyzes how the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, which established Haiti as the first black republic, has been silenced or marginalized in historical accounts. Racism and the refusal to see slaves as capable of revolution meant the West failed to recognize the events or importance of the Haitian Revolution.
Slave Rebellions
The document summarizes slave resistance to the institution of slavery in the United States from 1800 to the Civil War. It describes various slave rebellions and uprisings led by Denmark Vessey, Gabriel Prosser, Nat Turner, and John Brown. It also discusses the Underground Railroad and the role of Harriet Tubman in helping slaves escape. The document also profiles prominent abolitionists and activists including David Walker, Maria Stewart, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth who resisted slavery through pamphlets, speeches, and moral persuasion.
French revolution
The French Revolution was a period of political chaos and civil unrest in France that resulted in the overthrow of the French monarchy and establishment of the Reign of Terror dictatorship. It was caused by financial crisis from war debts that the peasant class could no longer afford to pay, leading them to storm the Bastille fortress in revolt against King Louis XVI. The revolution left France in ruin, which influenced Napoleon's sale of the Louisiana Territory to the United States in what was known as the Louisiana Purchase.
Causes am rev fr rev
The document compares and contrasts the key causes and impacts of the French and American revolutions. Both revolutions sought political change and equality. The French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideas and overthrew the monarchy, establishing new political and economic systems that benefited the middle class. It inspired other revolutions in Latin America. The American Revolution ended colonial rule by Britain and influenced the French Revolution.
Latin America Lect #7
The document outlines 4 key causes of Latin American revolutions:
1. Enlightenment ideas from European philosophers promoted concepts of natural rights and challenged divine right of kings.
2. Creole elites in Latin America were discontent with being denied political power and access to government jobs despite their wealth and education.
3. The American and French Revolutions inspired notions of governments formed by the people and shifting power from rulers to the masses.
4. Spain and Portugal's preoccupation with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe diverted military resources from Latin America and weakened colonial control.
Modern latin america[1]
Modern Latin America can be divided into three categories:
1. The first world includes Chile, which uses free trade to engage with global powers like the US.
2. The second world struggles with political and economic instability, like Argentina, Venezuela, and Columbia. Argentina has declined despite past prosperity, while Venezuela relies too heavily on oil.
3. The third world remains undeveloped, though some such as Columbia have potential to connect South America globally if they can address issues like poverty, drugs, and political divisions.
23.1 revolution threatens the french king
The document summarizes the political and economic conditions in late 18th century France that led to the French Revolution. It describes the unequal system of estates where the privileged first and second estates (clergy and nobles) paid little to no taxes while the third estate (commoners) were overburdened with taxes. The monarchy was spending lavishly and faced a financial crisis while resisting reforms. Tensions rose as the third estate demanded equal representation, leading them to form the National Assembly and declare power derived from the people rather than the king. This sparked the beginning of the French Revolution as unrest grew and ultimately led to the storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789.
2.2 causes of the french revolution
The French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment thinkers who challenged the divine right of kings. The social structure in France was unequal, with the poor paying most taxes. A growing middle class demanded more political power. France faced an ongoing financial crisis due to massive war debts and excessive spending by Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, whose weak leadership and rumors of corruption further upset the public. Famine and poor harvests exacerbated economic problems and unrest.
Haiti Presentation
This document provides an overview of the history of Haiti, beginning with French colonization and the successful slave rebellion led by Toussaint Louverture. It then discusses the establishment of Haiti as an independent nation under Jean-Jacques Dessalines, followed by periods of civil war, occupation by the United States, and dictatorships under Francois Duvalier and his Tonton Macoutes. The document concludes with discussions of Haitian agriculture, gender roles, elections of Aristide and Preval, UN peacekeeping missions, international aid, and the 2010 earthquake.
FRENCH REVOLUTION
The French Revolution was caused by severe social, political, economic, and intellectual factors. Socially, the majority of French people were unhappy with the heavy taxes placed on the Third Estate to support the lavish lifestyles of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. Politically, King Louis had absolute power but a weak personality that allowed him to be influenced and spend recklessly. Economically, high taxes, food prices, and war costs bankrupted France. Intellectually, philosophers like Voltaire and Rousseau inspired the people to fight for liberty, equality and democracy through their writings on enlightenment.
Revolutions of the 18th & 19th c Compared
The document compares political revolutions in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and Latin American revolutions. It outlines several similarities in the causes of these revolutions, such as the influence of the Enlightenment, conflicts between social classes, and economic problems. The document then contrasts the backgrounds and results of the American and French Revolutions more specifically, noting differences in social class structures, forms of government, levels of violence, and political outcomes in the post-revolution periods.

Finally, the revolutions inspired and caused other revolutions, and European wars either directly or indirectly contributed to the revolutions.
19c early20c revolutionsinlatinamerica
This document provides information about the causes and key figures of the Latin American revolutions in the early 19th century. It discusses 4 main causes: 1) Enlightenment ideas influenced leaders like Bolivar, 2) Creole discontent over lack of political power, 3) Inspiration from the American and French Revolutions, and 4) European powers like Spain and Portugal being distracted by the Napoleonic Wars. The document outlines the roles of revolutionary leaders like Bolivar and San Martin in gaining independence for countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, and more. However, ultimate unification efforts failed and new nations struggled with instability, poverty, and authoritarian rule under military dictators known as caudillos.
Zapatistas 2015
The document provides information about the Zapatista movement in Mexico and its impact. It discusses that the Zapatistas are a group that fights for improved rights and living conditions for Mexico's indigenous people. They take their name from Emiliano Zapata, a leader in the Mexican Revolution. The movement formed to oppose the negative impacts of NAFTA on poor indigenous farmers in Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state. On the day NAFTA took effect in 1994, the Zapatistas seized seven towns in Chiapas to protest, though the Mexican army later removed them. The group continues to negotiate with the government for assistance improving conditions in Chiapas.
The Enlightenment
This document discusses how ideas spread in the late 17th and 18th centuries through group gatherings like salons and coffeehouses. Salons were gatherings in private homes that mixed upper and middle classes and sexes, often hosted by important women. Coffeehouses were public spaces that mixed classes and were sites for philosophical debates, current events, and gossip. Both helped spread ideas discussed by philosophers at the time. Print publications like newspapers and novels also contributed to spreading ideas to a growing literate population.

21. postmodernism
Postmodernism rejects universal theories and meta-narratives in favor of local and contextual explanations. It is skeptical of ideas of progress, scientific truth, and cultural unity. Postmodernism sees identity as fragmented and emphasizes subcultures, image, and surface appearance over depth and originality. Postmodern art mixes styles, rejects notions of artistic purity, and blurs distinctions between high and popular culture. Postmodern thinkers deconstruct power structures and essentialist ideas of gender, sexuality, and race.
20. butler
Judith Butler is an American philosopher known for her work in feminism, queer theory, and political theory. Some of her major works examine gender and sexuality, challenging essentialist views. In Gender Trouble, she argues that gender is a social construct and performative, rather than determined by sex or biology. She asserts that there is no innate gender identity and that gender is formed through citational acts over time. Butler seeks to deconstruct notions of fixed gender and sexuality, viewing them as cultural rather than natural categories.
19. said
Edward Said's book Orientalism argues that the Orient has been imagined and constructed by the West through a discourse called Orientalism. This discourse involves producing knowledge about the Orient through academic and artistic works that help dominate and exert authority over it. Said defines Orientalism as a Western style and corporate institution for dealing with the Orient by making statements, authorizing views, describing, teaching, settling, and ruling over it. This discourse helped European culture gain strength by defining itself against an imagined Orient. Orientalism continues to circulate and construct ideas about the East in various cultural forms today.

Michel Foucault was a 20th century French philosopher known for his works analyzing the relationship between power and knowledge and how they are deployed in society. Some of his major works examined how concepts like madness, medicine, and sexuality are socially constructed. In his work The History of Sexuality, Foucault argued that sexuality became a central part of personal identity in modern Western societies as it became medically categorized and regulated through various institutions seeking to define normalcy and deviance. He analyzed how power operates through subtle controls and surveillance rather than direct force, using the metaphor of the panopticon prison to represent modern disciplinary society.
16. barthes & hall
This document provides an overview of cultural theorists Stuart Hall and Roland Barthes. It discusses Stuart Hall's work on encoding and decoding messages in media and how audiences do not passively receive information. It also outlines Roland Barthes' work on how dominant ideologies present themselves as natural through images and myth-making. Specifically, it explains Barthes' view of myth as a communication system that removes the reader from an active role and constructs ideas as inherent truths.

14. fanon & baldwin
This document discusses black existentialism through the works of Frantz Fanon and James Baldwin. It summarizes that black existentialism shares similarities with existentialist philosophers like Sartre but focuses on the liberation of all people of color rather than individual freedom. It provides biographical context of Fanon and Baldwin, outlining their major works and influences. Both writers examined issues of colonialism, racism, and identity from the perspective of being black in a white-dominated world.
13. de beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir was a French writer and philosopher who was heavily influenced by existentialism and Jean-Paul Sartre. She wrote The Second Sex in 1949, which argued that women are socially constructed as the "other" in a patriarchal society, and that this socialization is the root cause of women's oppression, not their biology. De Beauvoir asserted that one is not born a woman but becomes one, and that both individual and social change are needed for women's liberation.
12. adorno
The Frankfurt School was an institute founded in Germany in the 1920s that included thinkers like Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, and others. They critiqued concepts from the Enlightenment like rationality, progress, and domination of nature. They argued that the Enlightenment created its own "myths" and that modern society lives in an era of unfreedom and violence due to "instrumental rationality." They also critiqued mass culture and the culture industry, arguing it led to increasing uniformity and standardization of products that created artificial needs and passivity in individuals in order to reinforce the capitalist system.

1) You are shocked and overwhelmed by the beauty and skill of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus as a chambermaid from a peasant family serving the wealthy de Medici's.
2) As a young shop assistant from a small village seeing the Mona Lisa for the first time at the Louvre in 1910, you are in awe of da Vinci's masterpiece and the prestige and sophistication of Paris.
3) In 2018 as a new graphic designer, you feel uncomfortable with your colleague's poster of Klimt's The Kiss hanging over your shared desk as intimate artwork in a professional workspace.
10.5 age of progress & anxiety
The late 1800s and early 1900s saw unprecedented changes across Western societies including mass production, mass consumption enabled by new industries, widespread mass education to fuel these new economies, the rise of mass politics as more groups gained the right to vote, and new forms of mass leisure activities. However, this period of rapid economic and social progress also coincided with growing anxieties about these changes and their effects on individuals and traditional ways of life.
10. freud
In his work Civilization and its Discontents, Sigmund Freud applies his psychoanalytic theories about individual psychology to whole societies. He questions why human beings are so miserable in modern civilization and argues that the central problem is maintaining a balance between individual desires and the demands of society. Freud proposes that civilization arises from two drives in human nature: Eros, the life drive, and Thanatos, the death drive. Society controls the individual through internalized discipline and fear of losing love from the community.
9. nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher who is known for proclaiming the death of God and developing the concepts of master morality, slave morality, and ressentiment. In his "Parable of the Madman," Nietzsche describes a madman who declares that God is dead and laments who will wipe away this blood from humanity as the murderers of God. Nietzsche analyzed the development of morality from master morality defined by the powerful to slave morality defined in reaction and resentment against the masters. He argued that each person must develop their own moral code through rational reflection and affirmation of life rather than adopting universal morality.
7. marx, part 2
Marx analyzed history and society through the lens of class struggle. He believed that throughout history, society has been divided into opposing classes such as slave and master, peasant and aristocrat, and most currently, bourgeoisie and proletariat. Marx argued that the capitalist system established by the bourgeoisie, while advancing technology and industry, has created new forms of oppression and inequality. He predicted that recurring economic crises under capitalism would grow increasingly severe and ultimately lead to its demise, to be replaced by a socialist and communist society without classes.
6. marx, part 1
This document provides an overview of key aspects of Karl Marx's critique of capitalism. It discusses Marx's view that the industrial revolution led to alienating forms of labor under capitalism where workers are estranged from their work and its products. Marx argued that under capitalism, labor becomes a means to survival rather than a means of self-affirmation. The document also summarizes Marx's views on commodity fetishism and how the capitalist system obscures the actual human labor that goes into producing commodities.
5. hegel
This document discusses the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and his ideas about history and dialectic. It examines how Hegel viewed history as being driven by ideas and the dialectic process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. It also analyzes Susan Buck-Morss's work connecting Hegel's philosophy to the Haitian Revolution and how slavery and the Enlightenment ideals of freedom were in tension.
4. rousseau
Rousseau believed that humans in a state of nature were solitary yet inherently good and driven by instincts of survival. In civilization, humans become competitive, greedy, and power-hungry due to political inequalities. While walking in the forest, Rousseau contemplated stripping away pretenses to see humanity's true nature, and how civilization has distorted it for the worse. In his work "Confessions", Rousseau resolved to present himself truthfully to show his fellow man an example of natural humanity, claiming he was unlike anyone else in the world.
3. kant, wollstonecraft, truth
This document discusses the views of Immanuel Kant, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Sojourner Truth on education and reason. It examines Kant's definition of enlightenment and his views on how individuals can use reason. It also looks at Wollstonecraft's views on how women were socialized and educated at the time, and how this was harmful. Finally, it considers Truth's perspectives on gender, race, and the connection between reason and rights.
Course Introduction: 1930s America & Hollywood
This document provides an introduction to a course on art and history during the "Long 1930s." It discusses the context of the 1920s in America, including prosperity, new consumer goods, and a culture of exuberance. It then outlines how the 1930s was defined by the Great Depression and explores mass culture during this period, focusing on radio and the movie-going experience. It includes a quote that describes the split personality of Depression culture between grappling with economic disaster and creating entertainment as a form of escapism and coming to terms with hard times.
Enlightenment review; Descartes & Locke
The document discusses several key aspects of the Enlightenment period in Europe including the questioning of religious and political authorities, the spread of scientific revolution and rationalism, and the emergence of skepticism and emphasis on human reason. It also notes tensions around the universal application of reason and whether it applied equally to all groups of people.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
