In 1805, a New Orleans newspaper advertisement formally defined a new social institution, the infamous Quadroon Ball, in which prostitution and placage - a system of concubinage - converged. These balls, limited to white men and light-skinned, free "Quadroon" women, became an interracial rendezvous that provided evening entertainment and the possibility of forming sexual liaisons in exchange for financial "sponsorship." At these balls, money and other forms of payment were exchanged for the connubial placement of free women of color with wealthy white men.

"In 1805, a New Orleans newspaper advertisement formally defined a new social institution, the infamous Quadroon Ball, in which prostitution and placage - a system of concubinage - converged. These balls, limited to white men and light-skinned, free "Quadroon" women, became an interracial rendezvous that provided evening entertainment and the possibility of forming sexual liaisons in exchange for financial "sponsorship." At these balls, money and other forms of payment were exchanged for the connubial placement of free women of color with wealthy white men. My dissertation entitled, 'It's no disgrace to a colored girl to placer': Sexual Commodification and Negotiation Among Louisiana's "Quadroons," 1805-1860 seeks to understand how free women of color used sex across the colorline as a tool of negotiation in various spaces, like the Quadroon Ballroom, in antebellum Louisiana. More specifically, utilizing contemporary travelers' journals, newspapers, poems, songs, letters, notarial and ecclesiastical records, court cases and other legal documents, my dissertation examines the sexual agency exerted by Louisiana's free women of color in four sites of contestation - the body, the ballroom, the courtroom and the sanctuary. Free women of color occupied a precarious position in antebellum Louisiana, often subjugated because of their race, gender and class; yet, this very positioning also afforded them a space in which to maneuver socially and economically. I contend that in these literal and figurative spaces, these women drew upon their sexuality to make strategic claims to their freedom advancing themselves socially and economically. This work pushes the boundaries of current scholarship engaging questions of sexual agency and trauma, race and identity, hegemonic myth and cultural reappropriation. In so doing, I build upon and push beyond historiographic discussions of the fetishizing and fanticizing gaze of white men and the overly simplistic dichotomous images of the hypersexualized jezebel and the totally victimized yet "respectable" free woman of color. Ultimately, this research illuminates a more nuanced understanding of black female agency in the antebellum era." -- from Abstract.

A sweeping collection of observations and episodes penned by visitors to Louisiana from the sixteenth century to the 1990s, Louisiana Sojourns is—much like the state itself—a wonder to behold in its sum, and in its particulars, full of surprise and delight. The seventy-six pieces that Frank A. de Caro has selected give readers a vivid sense of how Louisiana's unique blend of Old World, South, the exotic, and quintessential America has exerted a pull and hold on travelers. Included are writings by well-known figures such as Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt, Kate Chopin, John Steinbeck, Frederick Law Olmsted, Walker Percy, William Faulkner, Simone de Beauvoir, Henry Miller, John James Audubon, Calvin Trillin, Zora Neale Hurston, A. J. Liebling, William Least Heat Moon, and Frederick Turner. Dozens of other wayfarers are represented as well.
