Hegel E O Haiti by Susan Buck-Morss
Combining close readings of German philosophy with archival research into newspapers, travel accounts, and diplomatic dispatches, the book argues that the Haitian Revolution—its challenge to slavery, colonial order, and European assumptions about freedom—was both known to and suppressed by the makers of canonical modern philosophy; by re-centering Haiti it reinterprets the master–slave dialectic and the foundations of modern political thought, showing how questions of recognition, labor, and commodity capitalism are intertwined with the violent global history of slavery and its erasure from narratives of universal progress.
