Popis: An epoch can be considered one of the tools historians use to understand the past, categorise events and provide an interpretation for them. This article sheds light on the Caribbean Revolution as a specific epoch within a macroregional context during the Age of Revolutions. Specifically, we examine political demands for the emancipation of slaves and equality for free black and mixed-race people in this revolutionary context during the Haitian Revolution and elsewhere. Furthermore, the Venezuelan War of Independence was also part of this process in several respects. Finally, the circulation of goods, people and ideas was fundamental in the creation of shared and hybrid political cultures.
