{"product_id":"beyond-bondage-david-barry-gaspar-9780252029394","title":"Beyond Bondage: Free Women of Color in the Americas","description":"Emancipation, manumission, and complex legalities surrounding slavery led to a number of women of color achieving a measure of freedom and prosperity from the 1600s through the 1800s. These black women held property in places like Suriname and New Orleans, headed households in Brazil, enjoyed religious freedom in Peru, and created new selves and new lives across the Caribbean. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Bondage\u003c\/i\u003e outlines the restricted spheres within which free women of color, by virtue of gender and racial restrictions, carved out many kinds of existences. Although their freedom--represented by respectability, opportunity, and the acquisition of property--always remained precarious, the essayists support the surprising conclusion that women of color often sought and obtained these advantages more successfully than their male counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Barry Gaspar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252029399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252029394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.70w x 0.92d","brand":"David Barry Gaspar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075982455039,"sku":"9780252029394","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1591965b-11f0-4447-a37c-9ede3d638e36.jpg?v=1685462525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-bondage-david-barry-gaspar-9780252029394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
