> AHA Panel Proposal: "Black Identity and the Atlantic World"
>
> I'm organizing a panel for the 2005 AHA Annual Meeting on the
> formation and negotiation of racial identity 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 that
> 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.
