Slave Revolts AlterLinks Topic Index The Black Jacobins Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution Resource Type: Book Published: 1963 An account of the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1803. Class War in the Confederacy Why Free State of Jones Matters Resource Type: Article Published: 2016 Free State of Jones may well be the most politically important film about the civil war and its aftermath to appear in a quarter century. Free State of Jones is a proper antidote to identitarian thinking, which has mystified popular understandings of the past, and how we approach political action in the present. In contrast to the prevailing view among so many nowadays that racism has always been and continues to be the main barrier to any progressive left politics, this film reminds us of a more complex history, where anti-slavery politics, Radical Republicanism and mass action created the short-lived progress of Reconstruction.

Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - February 20, 2016 Connexions Enters Its Fifth Decade Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 2016 This issue of Connexions Other Voices falls on the 40th anniversary of the publication of the very first Connexions newsletter, which was published in February 1976. That first issue carried the title "Canadian Information Sharing Service", which was also the name of the collective which compiled it, from submissions from across Canada. Within a couple of years, the name of the publication became "Connexions" and then, a little later, "The Connexions Digest". In addition to our own history, in this issue we spotlight black history as our topic of the week. We look at the Haitian revolution, when slaves confronted the French empire and won; black resistance against the Ku Klux Klan in the American South, and the meaning and limits of anti-racism. We also look at the Kurdish liberation movement in Rojava, the dangers posed by geoengineering, and we mark the publication of the Communist Manifesto on February 21, 1848.

Even open revolt was not beyond question.

The planters’ world rested on a powder keg to be ignited by the smallest of sparks.
