Reviews

A thoughtful, comprehensive, wide-ranging treatment of the subject of race in New Orleans in the colonial and early national period. It is rare to see a book as thoroughly documented as this one, and as rich in colorful and appropriately chosen examples to illustrate larger points of argument. - Thomas N. Ingersoll, The Ohio State University


Break[s] fresh analytical and methodological ground and respond[s] intelligently to alternative explanatory models pertaining to [its] respective subject. [It is a] significant contribution that will elicit scholarly engagement. -- John David Smith Florida Historical Quarterly 2011
