"The Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 was the only slave rebellion in which slaves
and former slaves succeeded in ending slavery and establishing an independent state,
making it perhaps the most radical revolution of the modern world. Yet on the Spanish
island of Cuba, barely fifty miles away, the events in Haiti helped usher in the antithesis
of revolutionary emancipation. There, planters and authorities saw the devastation
of their neighboring colony and rushed to prevent the same events from happening in
Cuba by buttressing the institutions of slavery and colonial rule. Freedom's Mirror
follows the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution in Cuba, where the violent entrenchment
of slavery occurred at the very moment that the Haitian Revolution provided a powerful
and proximate example of slaves destroying slavery. By linking two stories--the story
of the Haitian Revolution and that of the rise of Cuban slave society--that are usually
told separately, Ada Ferrer sheds fresh light on both of these crucial moments in
Caribbean and Atlantic history"
