Abstract
This is a collectively authored piece by some members of the Unsettled Subjects group (founded to challenge the systemic and structural legacies of colonialism, imperialism and slavery in relation to built environment). It unpacks C.L.R James's iconic book The Black Jacobins on the Haitian Revolution in terms of its built environmental relationships - i.e. through exploring architecture, spaces and landscapes as sites. We analyse these in terms of how built environment and physical landscapes were instruments of mobilisation of oppressive plantation slavery regimes and economic and intensely hierarchical, complex and numerous social groups and relationships of multiple hues. The article also includes two visual propositions by some Unsettled Subjects members that raise particular critiques as well as suggest creative ways in which we might think of repair.
