THE BLACK LIGHT

O Haitian (s), regardless of skin tone, religious belief, or political opinion, listen attentively; this is your story.

            If essence of revolution is to bring forth individuals whose existence is obscured by the cast by oppressive power, or to make visible a mass kept in anonymity, then the Haitian revolution, bringing out of obscurity the majority of humanity that the supremacist order intended to keep indefinitely in abjection, is the first to truly deserve this name.

What is it about?

From the clash of constitutive subjectivities in the chaotic universe of plantations, emerge emancipatory guiding principles, transcending the racialized slaves and humanity chained by the bonds of servitude. It is the Black Light of the subalterns, illuminating the path of which Aïti Quisqueya is the source, sometimes referred to as the beacon of the world to come sometimes as the matrix of freedom.

              It is true that Haitian crises are always unprecedented, each surpassing the previous one, and our history is marked by crossroads and turning points. However, we are currently experiencing a decisive moment that necessitates asking crucial questions, delving into the root of issues to examine not our forms of social organization, our institutional choices, our political biases, but the very meaning of our existence as a people.

              This question pertains to the genesis of the Haitian people/nation, its metahistorical foundation, and seeks to elucidate the meaning of its presence in the world and its mode of inscription in history.
