- 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
- Presentatie van de resultaten van nieuw historisch onderzoek naar de invloed van familie op de levenskansen van individuen. Centraal staat de interactie tussen historische actoren en de demografische en socio-economische kenmerken van de families en huishoudens waarvan zij deel uitmaakten. Naast opleidingsniveau, beroep en sociale status van beide ouders bepaalden de omvang en de samenstelling van de familie en het gezin in belangrijke mate de levenskansen van de kinderen. Dit boek biedt een antwoord op de vraag hoe de gezins- en familiale context zich in het verleden vertaalde in de opleiding, migratietrajecten, partnerkeuze en huwelijkskansen, vruchtbaarheid, gezondheid- en sterfterisico's en carrièrekansen van kinderen.

- Description
- This volume surveys the role women have played in various types of business as owners, co-owners and decision-making managers in European and North American societies since the sixteenth century. Drawing on scholarship, it identifies the economic, social, legal and cultural factors that have facilitated or restricted women's participation in business. It pays particular attention to the ways in which gender norms, and their evolution, shaped not only those women's experience of business, but the ways they were perceived by contemporaries, documented in sources and, partly as a consequence, viewed by historians.
