Mapping the Haitian Revolution

Stephanie Curci and Chris Jones are instructors in English and History, respectively, at Phillips Academy Andover, where they also teach an interdisciplinary course entitled The History and Literature of the Haitian Revolution. Additionally, Stephanie Curci created and maintains Mapping Haitian History, an online visual records site for Haitian historical and cultural sites.

We designed this site with a few different audiences in mind. Primarily, its purpose is to help our students understand the complicated narrative of the Haitian Revolution across time and space. These students include high school seniors as well as tenth-grade students, who study a shorter unit on the Haitian Revolution. We also wanted to provide a resource for other teachers at the high-school level who might be looking for a collection of English-language materials to help create or buttress an existing unit on the Haitian Revolution.
