Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study deals with the relationship between Antebellum America and the Circum-Caribbean and its influence over the nineteenth-century U.S. literary imagination. The Haitian Revolution that started in 1791 and ended in the birth of a black republic in 1804 exerted a significant impact over the post-revolutionary United States and its nation-building as a white Anglo-Saxon republic. The impact of the Haitian Revolution was especially seismic in the slave-holding U.S. South and this impact is explored in the narratives of Edgar Allan Poe. This study also addresses the remains of colonialism and the emergence of neo-colonialism in the U.S.-Caribbean relation in the contemporary American literature and discusses colonial and post-colonial themes in the novels by the Jamaican-American novelist Michelle Cliff.
