Fear of a Black Republic

Haiti and the Birth of Black Internationalism in the United States

By: Leslie M. Alexander

The emergence of Haiti as a sovereign Black nation lit a beacon of hope for Black people throughout the African diaspora. Leslie M. Alexander’s study reveals the untold story of how free and enslaved Black people in the United States defended the young Caribbean nation from forces intent on maintaining slavery and white supremacy. Concentrating on Haiti’s place in the history of Black internationalism, Alexander illuminates the ways Haitian independence influenced Black thought and action in the United States. As she shows, Haiti embodied what whites feared most: Black revolution and Black victory. Thus inspired, Black activists in the United States embraced a common identity with Haiti’s people, forging the idea of a united struggle that merged the destinies of Haiti with their own striving for freedom. A bold exploration of Black internationalism’s origins, Fear of a Black Republic links the Haitian revolution to the global Black pursuit of liberation, justice, and social equality.

In the Shadow of Slavery

African Americans in New York City, 1626–1863

By: Leslie M. Harris

A new edition of a classic work revealing the little-known history of African Americans in New York City before Emancipation. The popular understanding of the history of slavery in America almost entirely ignores the institution’s extensive reach in the North. But the cities of the North were built by—and became the home of—tens of thousands of enslaved African Americans, many of whom would continue to live there as free people after Emancipation. In the Shadow of Slavery reveals the history of African Americans in the nation’s largest metropolis, New York City. Leslie M. Harris draws on travel accounts, autobiographies, newspapers, literature, and organizational records to extend prior studies of racial discrimination. She traces the undeniable impact of African Americans on class distinctions, politics, and community formation by offering vivid portraits of the lives and aspirations of countless black New Yorkers. This new edition includes an afterword by the author addressing subsequent research and the ongoing arguments over how slavery and its legacy should be taught, memorialized, and acknowledged by governments.

The Longhunters

A Report on the History and Family of William Blevins Sr. of Virginia

By: Leslie W. Blevins Jr.

Finding the descendants of William Blevins Sr. has been the object of researchers for many decades. The author was happy to learn much about William Blevins Sr. and his ascendants and descendants as he sought information from his family and genealogical researchers who were willing to share information, books that have been written, and a wide range of information available on the Internet. Without all these sources this work would not have been possible. The author thanks all those who have so generously contributed to the information contained herein. They know who they are. Much of what is reported here was obtained from authoritative works and obscure data unobtainable in any single source. Some was also furnished by other genealogists who, with a great deal of patience, answered my questions with detailed responses. Without the material and encouragement of so many generous persons; this report could not have been written. In conclusion, my parting wish is that those persons who have contributed both time and information to this project may read it and forgive me for the errors which have surely crept into it.
