What is Creole City: A Chronicle of Early American New Orleans (Contested Boundaries) about?

“Provides fresh insights into the ways that New Orleans was tied to the larger Atlantic world and how the city and its inhabitants weathered their incorporation into the United States.”—Ashli White, author of __Encountering Revolution: Haiti and the Making of the Early Republic__ “Dessens reveals a vanished world of transatlantic circuits, interracial families, politics and property, even ethnic rivalries—but most of all, the resilience, adaptability, and hard times of Saint-Domingue exiles whom revolution and war on two continents had cast ashore in New Orleans.”—Lawrence N. Powell, author of __The Accidental City__ In __Creole City__, Nathalie Dessens opens a window onto antebellum New Orleans during a period of rapid expansion and dizzying change. Exploring previously neglected aspects of the city’s early nineteenth-century history, Dessens examines how the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of New Orleans came to symbolize progress, adventure, and culture to so many. Rooting her exploration in the Sainte-Gême Family Papers harbored at The Historic New Orleans Collection, Dessens follows the twenty-year correspondence of Jean Boze to Henri de Ste-Gême, both refugees from Saint-Domingue.
