This dissertation examines how colored Creole women shaped family and community formation and influenced the development of a Creole ethnic identity in New Orleans between the late-eighteenth century and 1930. Beginning with the arrival of Caribbean Creole émigrés in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution, I explore women’s role in the growth and expansion of a visible colored Creole community in the antebellum era. I look closely at the way free colored Creole women responded to the loss of their privileged intermediate legal status after the Civil War, and detail their efforts to preserve the Creoles’ antebellum social privilege for fully two generations after the fall of slavery.
