- Description
- Using archaeological materials recovered from a housesite in Mobile, Alabama, Laurie Wilkie explores how one extended African-American family engaged in conflicting ideas about motherhood in the post-Emancipation South. The female head of this household, Lucretia Perryman, turned to midwifery to support her family and as a midwife, became a vehicle for transmitting cultural, social, and political knowledge to a broader African-American community.

- Description
- Popular and academic representations of the free mulatta concubine depict women of mixed black African and white racial descent as defined by their sexual attachment to white men, and thus they offer evidence of the means to and dimensions of their freedom within Atlantic slave societies. In this book the author contends that the uniformity of these representations conceals the figure’s centrality to the practices and production of diaspora. She argues that the concubine figure’s manifestation as both historical subject and African diasporic goddess indicates her centrality to understanding how free and enslaved black subjects performed gender, theorized race and freedom, and produced their own diasporic identities. The book traces the free mulatta concubine across the physical and imaginative landscapes of three Atlantic sites: Gorée Island, New Orleans, and Saint Domingue (Haiti).

- Description
- De selectie kookboeken, die de auteur gebruikte, varieerde van zeventiende eeuwse huishoudboeken uit Engelse landhuizen, een klassiek afro-amerikaans kookboek waarin de roots van veel traditioneel amerikaanse gerechten opgenomen zijn, tot een vijftiger jaren kookboek, speciaal voor amerikanen geschreven door een Chinese immigrante. Tenslotte kijkt Theophano naar de hedendaagse twintigste eeuwse kookboeken van Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Madeleine Kamman en Alice Waters. Zij laat zien hoe het schrijven over eten veel laat zien over het leven, het gezin en de cultuur van de schrijvers van die kookboeken.

- Description
- For more than a century before gay marriage became a political issue, same-sex unions flourished in America. Pairs of men and pairs of women joined together in committed unions, for periods of thirty or forty—sometimes as many as fifty—years. In short, they loved and supported each other every bit as much as any husband and wife. Streitmatter reveals how some of these unions didn’t merely improve the quality of life for the two people involved but also enriched the American culture. Among the high-profile couples whose lives and loves are illuminated in the following pages are Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and Mary Rozet Smith, literary icon Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, writer Audre Lorde and Frances Clayton.

- Description
- Looking forward to the 100-year anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, this collection of essays looks back at the decades since women won the right to vote to analyze the changes, developments, and even continuities in women's roles in the broad political sphere. Ultimately, the book asks two questions about the last 100 years of women's suffrage: How did the Nineteenth Amendment alter the American political system? and How has women's engagement in politics changed over the last 100 years?

- Description
- Boylan explored the flourishing of women's volunteer associations in the decades following the Revolution. She examined the entire spectrum of early nineteenth-century women's groups - Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish: African American and white: middle and working class - to illuminate the ways in which race, religion, and class could bring women together in pursuit of common goals or drive them apart.
