Beyond Bondage - Free Women of Color in the Americas

Klappentext David Barry Gaspar and Darlene Clark Hine's Beyond Bondage outlines the restricted spheres within which free women of color! by virtue of gender and racial restrictions! were forced to carve out their existences. Although their freedom! represented by the acquisition of property! respectability! and opportunity! always remained precarious! the collection supports the surprising conclusion that women of color often sought and obtained these advantages more successfully than their male counterparts. Zusammenfassung A collection of stories of black women who were not slaves during the era of slavery.
