Race, Sex, And Social Order In Early New Orleans
A microcosm of exaggerated societal extremes - poverty and wealth, vice and virtue, elitism and equality - New Orleans is a tangled web of race, cultural mores, and sexual identities. The author's examination of the relationship between politics and social practice unravels the city's construction of race during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
