ABSTRACT
The phrase restless flying references and comprehends a reading of two poetic lines. They are refrains of different provinces, one Tunisian and one Caribbean, in different tongues, Arabic and French, with remarkable harmonic resonance. The incomprehensibleness of commonality of Haitian and Tunisian revolutions to the current political and sociological analysis is indicative of utter failure of these sciences to adequately address that question. Badiou does not mention Haiti in his pronouncement on the historicity of the Tunisian events, both of these aspects in tandem were more pronouncedly and profoundly in evidence with the Haitian Revolution than the American or the French. The Haitian provenance of this formation is clear when we bear in mind the historical events of the independent nation's emergence pertaining to the relation between republican freedom and economic discipline. The event of the first independent Black republic occurred at the collapse of the first French Colonial Empire, having been a major factor in that collapse.
