Revolution, Romanticism, and the Afro-Creole Protest Tradition in Louisiana, 1718-1868 by Caryn Cosse Bell
Caryn Cosse Bell, in her impressive, sweeping study, traces the eighteenth-century origins of the Afro-Creole political and intellectual heritage, its evolution in antebellum New Orleans, and its impact on the Civil War and Reconstruction.
"With Intelligence, wit, and insight [Bell takes] us more deeply into the free colored world than any previous historian" - Ira Berlin, The Nation; "Bell opens a window on a lost world.... The historiography of free people of color and Louisiana's Afro-Creoles must be reassessed in light of her work." - William and Mary Quarterly; "Bell's energetically written analysis of 'Enlightenment in action' within Louisiana serves to remind us of the transformative power of popular politics and culture in the postslavery dispensation of plantation America.... A pathbreaking work." - Journal of American History"
Caryn Cossé Bell is an assistant professor of history at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
