Book Synopsis The "tragic Mulatta" Revisited by : Eve Allegra Raimon
Book excerpt: This book focuses on the mixed-race female slave in literature, arguing that this figure became a symbol for explorations of race and nation - both of which were in crisis in the mid-19th century. It suggests that the figure is a way of understanding the volatile and shifting interface of race and national identity in the antebellum period.
