'There Are No Slaves in France': The Political Culture of Race and Slavery in the Ancien Regime
Peabody, Sue (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Washington State University)
The repeated efforts by French slaves in France during the seventeenth and eighteenth century to legally seek their freedom left a rich tale of how the demand for freedom paradoxically leads to both the broadening of civil rights and the fostering of racial prejudice. Peabody tells this tale in a lively, informative, and anecdotal narrative.
