Produktbeschreibung
"Kimberly Hanger traces the origins of antebellum Louisiana's large and influential free black society to the late eighteenth-century era of Spanish colonial rule, when the entire region, but particularly New Orleans, saw a steady growth in the number of people classified as neither slave nor white. An extraordinarily rich archival trove, especially of government, church and military records, has enabled Hanger to chronicle in remarkable detail the development of this community of "libres" and their negotiation of the precarious and ambiguous place they occupied in colonial Louisiana society. . . . Hanger fills an important lacuna in the history of free blacks in North America."--Roderick A. McDonald, "Slavery and Abolition"
