- 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
- Her name was Sarah Baartman. Born in South Africa in 1789, she died in Paris in 1815—after five years of being displayed (sometimes in a cage) for entertainment and scientific study: her pickled buttocks and genitalia remained on public display at the Musée de l'Homme until 1974 and her remains were finally returned to South Africa in 2002. During her period of fame and exploitation, she was known as the Hottentot Venus. Willis offers an anthology that embraces scholarly and lyrical, historical and reflexive responses to Baartman, as a woman, as a black woman, as an object, as an icon, as an inspiration to creative artists, and as a catalyst to scholars. The book moves from Baartman's life and times to an assessment of the figure of the Hottentot Venus in contemporary art and a broader consideration of the historic public display of black women.

- Description
- The essays in this book of southern history address the experiences of white and non-white women. Among the subjects covered are black women's suffrage: female kin and female slaves in planters' wills: the northern myth of the rebel girl: second wave feminism in the South: and southern lesbians. Bringing to light the lives of Cherokee women, Appalachian 'coal daughters', and Jewish women in the South, the essays ensure that monolithic representations of southern womanhood are a thing of the past.

- Description
- Displayed on European stages from 1810 to 1815 as the Hottentot Venus, Sara Baartman was one of the most famous women of her day. She was seen by Westerners as alluring and primitive, a reflection of their fears and suppressed desires. Based on research and interviews that span three continents, Sara Baartman and the Hottentot Venus tells the entwined histories of an illusive life and a famous icon. The book raises questions about the possibilities and limits of biography for understanding those who live between and among different cultures. In reconstructing Baartman's life, the book traverses the South African frontier and its genocidal violence, cosmopolitan Cape Town, the ending of the slave trade, the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, London and Parisian high society, and the rise of racial science. The authors explore the enduring impact of the Hottentot Venus on ideas about women, race, and sexuality. The book concludes with the politics involved in returning Baartman's remains to her home country, and connects Baartman's story to her descendants in nineteenth- and twentieth-century South Africa.
