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. Beyond Bondage 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. 410 0$aNew Black studies. 606 $aWomen, Black$zAmerica$xHistory 606 $aFree Black people$zAmerica$xHistory 606 $aSlavery$zAmerica$xHistory 607 $aAmerica$xSocial conditions 607 $aAmerica$xRace relations 615 0$aWomen, Black$xHistory. 615 0$aFree Black people$xHistory. 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 676 $a305.488 701 $aGaspar$b David Barry$0792579 701 $aHine$b Darlene Clark$01804941 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973500103321 996 $aBeyond bondage$94353267 997 $aUNINA
