杏吧原创鈥檚 Author Meets Readers Focuses on the Haitian Revolution
杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Philip Kaisary, assistant professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies, will discuss his book The Haitian Revolution in the Literary Imagination at the upcoming Author Meets Readers event Radical Visions of Freedom: the Birth of Haiti.
When: Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018, at 5:30 p.m.
Where: Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank Street, Ottawa
Info: This event is free and open to the public. Registration is available online.
Media are invited to attend the event.
Kaisary鈥檚 book reveals that the Haitian Revolution, the world鈥檚 only successful slave revolution, has long since generated 鈥渞adical鈥 and 鈥渃onservative鈥 responses. The cultural and political debates inspired by the Haitian Revolution have much to teach us about our moral vision and political hopes today.
The event will feature a short panel Q&A session with Kaisary, 杏吧原创 Prof. Ummni Khan and Jean Wolff, Haitian-born reader and communications specialist.
This event is part of the Ottawa International Writer鈥檚 Festival.
