Grounded in astonishing archival research that spans Europe, the Caribbean, the United States, and Australia, \u003ci\u003eSiblings of Soil\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how African descendants across Hispaniola collaborated across time to ultimately unify the island under Haiti in 1822. This contribution centers the whole island in the broader historical literature on the Age of Revolutions. It moreover is a poignant reminder of a bygone era of cooperation in the forging of an independent, anti-slavery, and anti-colonial Black state. The Isis Duarte Book Prize committee commends \u003ci\u003eSiblings of Soil\u003c\/i\u003e for its extraordinary research and timely innovation. * Isis Duarte Prize Committee, Haiti\/ Dominican Republic section of the Latin American Studies Association *\u003cbr\u003eYingling . . . masterfully [argues] that the Dominican Republic did not gain independence from but rather separated itself from Haiti. He also provides pertinent examples of Dominican influence on Haiti in its early years and of collaborative efforts between the two 'siblings.' . . Importantly, Yingling locates Santo Domingo in the historiography of the Age of Revolutions. Haiti, at least, has received more recognition in this era given the significance of the Haitian Revolution. . . This well-researched book incorporates archival material from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, France, Spain, Cuba, and Vatican City. . .
