> "Black Identity and the Atlantic World"
>
> I'm organizing a panel for the 2005 AHA Annual Meeting on the formation
> and negotiation of racial idenity in the Atlantic world. My paper
> examines the transformation of black identity in the United States in
> response to the revival of public memory of the Haitian Revolution.
> Whereas the historiographical tendency is to focus on the formation of
> regional and national identities of elites on the periphery of European
> empires, I'm looking for two papers tht underscore the extent to which
> racial identity empowered non-elites of the African diaspora to resist
> (or contribute to) slavery and racial oppression, and embark upon (or
> possibly resist) revolution.
