Talk:History of Haitian Nationality and Citizenship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The page is starting to look good, keep it up!
- A short (one-to-three sentence) introduction at the start of the article would be useful.
- Replace "miscegenation" with a more neutral term.
- Use of "citizens" in the Code Noir section seems anachronistic. Aren't they just subjects of the king? Careful with your use of this term elsewhere as well.
- "Colonists and imperial administrators created a new public sphere by constructing racial sexual stereotypes unfit for civil life." The meaning of this sentence is unclear to me.
- Detail about uniqueness of free black planters under "Haitian Revolution" section is a repetition.
- It is a good idea to present two narratives, but explain why you do it by framing them more clearly (who produces each side?).
- Section on foreign recognition is interesting, but how does it pertain to nationality?
- The section on law is great. It is not all Constitutional law, however. How was "white" defined in these laws?
- In the diaspora section, do you mean "out of the question" instead of "unquestionable"?
