Abstract:
This essay serves as a response to two essays, by Sara E. Johnson and Laura Rosanne Adderley, written in response to the author's 2014 book Freedom's Mirror: Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution. The essay is a reflection on historical and archival method that argues for the value of informed speculation in scholarly work on slavery and black revolution.
