Fireburn: Revolt, Representation, and Remembrance examines the 1878 labor revolt on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies (since 1917 the U.S. Virgin Islands) as both a historical event and a site of ongoing meaning-making. The dissertation traces how the revolt has been recorded, obscured, and reclaimed across nearly 150 years, moving through historiography, print culture, colonial archives, vernacular memory, and museum practice.<\/p>\n
By tracing the revolt across time, media, and geography, the dissertation asserts that Fireburn is not a closed chapter of history, but a dynamic and contested event that continually influences ideas of post-emancipation colonial labor relations, conceptions of freedom, and the ways colonial legacies continue to structure them.<\/p>\n
