Bhambra, G. K. (2016). Undoing the epistemic disavowal of the Haitian revolution: a contribution to global social thought. Journal of Intercultural Studies, 37(1), 1-16.
Bhambra (2016) looks at global historical interconnections with relation to the Haitian Revolution and asks what can be learned from this important historical event. The purpose of the article is to identify problems in sociological thought and how by ignoring the Haitian Revolution sociology studies tend to marginalize the black experience. The author refers to this marginalization as a cognitive injustice and that a decentralization of European self-understanding is needed to see the significance of the Haitian Revolution. The author calls for a connected sociologies approach and argues that in this way the revolution can be better seen in its appropriate context. The article is helpful for indicating how sameness of perspective over time can limit one’s understanding of different cultures.
Garrigus, J. D. (1996). Colour, class and identity on the eve of the Haitian revolution: Saint?Domingue's free coloured elite as colons américains. Slavery and Abolition, 17(1), 20-43.
The article by Garrigus (1996) focuses on the role that color, class and identity all played in the Haitian revolution. The author looks especially at how creole and French labels were used to ingrain racist mentalities and behaviors in the Haitian society, which contributed in part to the popular uprising. The article is helpful for explaining the demographics of Haiti in the decades leading up to the revolution; it shows who the people were in the various neighborhoods, what was being sold, who was where, and what the beliefs of the people were. It is not just race and labels but also the politics of class that entered into the environment. What Garrigus (1996) does is interesting because he goes family by family and really puts a human face on what was happening in Haiti, who the landowners were in specific neighborhoods, what their plantations consisted of, and how prosperous they were. The point of the article is to show that mixed-race families in certain neighborhoods did have the same rights and socio-economic strategies as white families—but it was not universal throughout all Haiti. The landed rural class did come under the threat of growing racial disparities and discrimination; new laws focused on keeping white families from mixed-race families; the French race was something legislators wanted to preserve insofar as was possible. The article is useful in explaining...

Tierney draws another comparison between Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti by describing the people who were most affected by the disasters. She claims that Katrina affected people who were least able to help themselves, such as the poor and the disabled, but many people were able to escape. Haiti, however, is one of the poorest nations in the world. The majority of the population lives in chronic poverty.
