Contents	Introduction : Sovereignty and power -- Games of sovereignty and opportunity -- Selling citizenship, recognising blood, stabilising sovereignty -- Burlesquing empire : performing Black sovereignty on the world stage -- Welcome to the new world order : Haiti and Black sovereignty at the turn of the century -- Sovereignty under siege? Contemporary performances of Black sovereignty.
Summary	Unfinished Revolution is the first study to gather nineteenth-century representations and performances of Haitian sovereignty in the Atlantic world. In assembling this undiscovered archive of black power, this book offers compelling evidence of the ways that sovereignty and blackness intersect with unstable processes of modernity to produce an articulation of black authority always, already under threat for eradication or ridicule. Undeterred, nineteenth-century Haitian leaders mounted a century's-long battle to situate Haiti at the centre of the Atlantic world.
