Family Money explores the histories of formerly enslaved women who
tried to claim inheritances left to them by deceased owners, the
household traumas of mixed-race slaves, post-Emancipation calls for
reparations, and the economic fallout from anti-miscegenation
marriage laws. Authors ranging from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Frank
Webb, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Chesnutt, to Lydia Maria Child
recognized that intimate interracial relationships took myriad
forms, often simultaneously-sexual, marital, coercive, familial,
pleasurable, and painful. Their fiction confirms that the
consequences of these relationships for nineteenth-century
Americans meant thinking about more than the legal structure of
racial identity. Who could count as family (and when), who could
own property (and when), and how racial difference was imagined
(and why) were emphatically bound together. Demonstrating that
notions of race were entwined with economics well beyond the direct
issue of slavery, Family Money reveals interracial sexuality to be
a volatile mixture of emotion, economics, and law that had
dramatic, long-term financial consequences.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
