Regards québécois sur Haïti: La visibilité d’Haïti dans la presse québécoise du XIXe siècle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The relationship between Quebec and Haiti has deep historical roots. While the current Haitian diaspora in Canada has drawn attention to their contemporary ties, these connections date back to colonial times. Under French rule, Nouvelle-France and Saint-Domingue played pivotal roles in a trade triangle that facilitated the movement of people and goods across the Atlantic empire. Although these exchanges weakened following Quebec’s cession to Britain in 1763 and seemingly ceased after Haiti declared its independence in 1804, Haiti faced significant political and economic isolation from world powers thereafter. Canada, under British control, also followed this trend of detachment. However, a closer examination reveals numerous references to Haiti and Saint-Domingue in 19th-century Quebec newspapers – approximately 3,000 and 330 mentions, respectively – indicating a sustained interest. This study explores Quebec press coverage from 1804 to 1900, aiming to uncover how Haiti and its people were represented in Quebec’s journalistic discourse of the time.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
