As race-based slavery became entrenched in French laws, all household members in the French Atlantic world ?regardless of their status, gender, or race?negotiated increasingly stratified legal understandings of race and gender. Through her focus on household relationships, Jennifer L. Palmer reveals how intimacy not only led to the seemingly immutable hierarchies of the plantation system but also caused these hierarchies to collapse even before the age of Atlantic revolutions. Placing families at the center of the French Atlantic world, Palmer uses the concept of intimacy to illustrate how race, gender, and the law intersected to form a new worldview. Through analysis of personal, mercantile, and legal relationships, Intimate Bonds demonstrates that even in an era of intensifying racial stratification, slave owners and slaves, whites and people of color, men and women all adapted creatively to growing barriers, thus challenging the emerging paradigm of the nuclear family. This engagingly written history reveals that personal choices and family strategies shaped larger cultural and legal shifts in the meanings of race, slavery, family, patriarchy, and colonialism itself. 410 0$aEarly modern Americas. 606 $aSlavery$zFrance 606 $aGender$zFrance 607 $aFrance$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlavery 615 0$aGender 676 $a306.09729 700 $aPalmer$b Jennifer L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01029273 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493162403321 996 $aIntimate Bonds$92445578 997 $aUNINA
