Ronald Angelo Johnson

Ronald Angelo Johnson is currently working on two book projects: the first, Entangled Alliances: Racialized Freedom & Atlantic Connections during the American Revolution, examines acts of rebellion by American colonists and rebels of color in Saint-Domingue (later Haiti). The second, We Are All Equal: Turmoil and Triumph in the Early United States and Revolutionary Haiti, is a diplomatic history of race and revolution, illustrating that Americans and Haitians shared important understandings of liberty. Dr. Johnson's first book was Diplomacy in Black and White: John Adams, Toussaint Louverture, and Their Atlantic World Alliance (2014). He is the co-editor of In Search of Liberty: African American Internationalism in the Nineteenth-Century Atlantic World (2021) as well as the co-editor of the Journal of the Early Republic.
