As the introduction for this reprint edition shows, Alice Ilgenfritz Jones was the first white woman to take an extended interest in the intersection of creativity, race, and gender. In \u003ci\u003eBeatrice\u003c\/i\u003e, Jones seeks to unveil the relationships between white and African Americans during the twenty years before the Civil War by following her mixed-race protagonist from her childhood as a slave in New Orleans through her career as a free woman and inspired painter and opera singer. \u003ci\u003eBeatrice\u003c\/i\u003e renders the white author's effort to find a place for the mixed-race woman in relation to paradigms of creativity that are not only gendered but racialized. In the process, it exposes the fault lines of ideology and literary convention that underlie attempts to negotiate issues of race, gender, and creativity in late nineteenth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Ilgenfritz Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0879728329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879728328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.14h x 4.48w x 1.18d","brand":"Alice Ilgenfritz Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082585907455,"sku":"9780879728328","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beatrice-of-bayou-tzche-alice-ilgenfritz-jones-9780879728328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
