12:00 PMIASH Fellows' Speaker Series

Scott Henkel, assistant professor of English, will speak on “C. L. R. James’ Challenge to the Enlightenment Tradition." As David Scott explains in Conscripts of Modernity: The Tragedy of Colonial Enlightenment, “most of all,” C. L. R. James’ history of the Haitian Revolution, The Black Jacobins, is “the political biography of this enlightened and inspiring leader, Toussaint L’Ouverture” (10). To make this argument, Henkel illustrates the ways in which L’Ouverture was drawn into the Enlightenment tradition, co-opting it at times and resisting it at others. This paper argues that James’ other focus in The Black Jacobins, namely the swarm-like behavior of the mass of slaves in revolt, draws upon non-Western conceptions of emancipation, community, and mutual aid which cannot be adequately understood by appeals to the Enlightenment tradition. If The Black Jacobins is the biography of an enlightened and inspiring leader, one whom James calls the “black Spartacus” (250), it is not only that. It is also about that leader’s limitations and the contributions made by the mass of insurgent slaves fighting for their freedom.
