It as boring and I had to read this book for my first semester of college for my craft of history class.

El capítulo de la revolución haitiana fue una de las primeras cosas que leí en la carrera a los 19 años y me voló la cabeza totalmente, desde entonces quise leer el libro entero pero por algún motivo recién ahora lo hice. Trouillot me sigue pareciendo igual de brillante ahora que hace cinco años, es una lástima que el libro no se consiga en Argentina hoy día.

One "silences" a fact or an individual as a silencer silences a gun... Hard facts are no more frightening than darkness. You can play with them if you are with friends. They are scary only if you read them alone.
People who aren't African-American but who feel they have a right to speak on African-American culture and social practices shouldn't have nearly as many rights as they do!! Other than the moments were that diaspora-war rhetoric came out, I liked this one. MRT's a good storyteller and the mix of theory and italicized narratives in the chapters reminded me of Anne Dufourmantelle's In Praise of Risk, which is a personal favorite, so I could just be biased toward that writing style now.
