Becoming Free, Becoming Black: Race, Freedom, and Law in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana - Studies in Legal History
De La Fuente, Alejandro (Harvard University, Massachusetts)
Becoming Free, Becoming Black offers the first comparative study of law, race, and freedom in the Americas from the sixteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries. Slaveholders linked blackness and slavery in the law, but by the mid-nineteenth century the social meaning of blackness varied over time and under different legal regimes.
