“Haitian history is not only a history of Haiti. It’s an American; it’s European, African, and global history.”

For #AgeOfRevolutions, Miriam Franchina describes the process of creating a memorial in Pisa to the first and only Queen of Haiti, Marie-Louise. #BlackHistory #histodons https://ageofrevolutions.com/2023/08/07/revolutionary-royalty-remembering-queen-marie-louise-of-haiti-in-pisa/

Emily Yankowitz shows in fascinating detail the ways in which former Loyalists shaped ideas about citizenship in the new United States, and the debate about state vs. national citizenship, in an essay at #AgeOfRevolutions. #VastEarlyAmerica #AmericanRevolution https://ageofrevolutions.com/2023/02/20/negative-patriots-how-former-loyalists-movement-between-states-shaped-the-development-of-american-citizenship-1781-1790/

For #AgeOfRevolutions, @DrEricaJohnson writes about a visit to Barbados and the Bajan narrative about George Washington’s time on the island as a young man. #VastEarlyAmerica #AmericanRevolution #Caribbean #BritishEmpire https://ageofrevolutions.com/2023/01/30/george-washington-in-barbados/

Time for a little bit of self-promotion now that I stumbled over the Channel 4 channel (?!) on YouTube and this year's series of 'Britain by Beach'. Word had gotten out that I'd been doing a little bit of research and writing around the 1797 #Fishguard Invasion by the French, and that's how I ended up gesticulating enthusiastically in front of a camera whilst standing on a pebbly, not quite beach in the south-west of #Wales.

Enjoy a spot of #AgeOfRevolutions history.

#introduction I’m an early Americanist in #highered who specializes in #c18 #literature , early American novels, #letters, #materialculture, the #americanrevolution, the #ageofrevolutions, and #loyalism. I wrote a book on female loyalist letter-writers called Stripped & Script and am now working on the connection between information silos and disease in early American #fiction.

#histodons out there! After a Ph.D. at UniHalle (#intellectualhistory, #18thcentury #Enlightenment and...battling with the German language!), I am now a postdoc at the UniTrier: #HaitianRevolution, #AgeOfRevolutions #AtlanticHistory. Here's an open-access article to cut my intro short & let my cat lie down on the keyboard.
