Carleton University\u2019s Philip Kaisary, assistant professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies<\/a>, will discuss his book The Haitian Revolution in the Literary Imagination <\/em>at the upcoming Author Meets Readers event Radical Visions of Freedom: the Birth of Haiti<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong>: Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018, at 5:30 p.m.

Media are invited to attend the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaisary\u2019s book reveals that the Haitian Revolution, the world\u2019s only successful slave revolution, has long since generated \u201cradical\u201d and \u201cconservative\u201d responses. The cultural and political debates inspired by the Haitian Revolution have much to teach us about our moral vision and political hopes today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
