In this Interdisciplinary Radio episode, "The Revolutions That We Inherit," Alec Dun talks about his new book and how the Haitian Revolution impacted early America. He starts with a discussion of the increasing importance of newspapers and of Philadelphia as a hotspot for discourse on revolutionary activity in France and Saint Domingue. Then he addresses how the American people defined and debated the meaning of their own revolution and the institution of slavery through the lens of this other, neighboring, revolution.
