In this groundbreaking study, Alexander chronicles the previously undocumented plight of perhaps the most marginal sector of 19th-century American society--the free women of mixed race in the rural South. Although the book focuses on the women of Alexander's own family, it is a fascinating profile of America, its race and gender relations, and its complex cultural weave. (Univ. of Arkansas Press)
