- Description
- Focus on the lives and experiences of women of color who were not held in full legal bondage, or who did not consider themselves to be so bound, in the slave societies of the Americas. The authors explore questions such as: How far beyond bondage were the free women? How far were their lives shaped by slavery? What forms did their marginality take, how effective were these forms and how did free black women cope with them to survive? How was their freedom actualized?
