Individual essays examine cross-plantation marriages among slaves, white orphanages, childhood mortality, miscegenation and inheritance, domestic activities such as sewing, and same-sex relationships.  Editors Craig Thompson Friend and Anya Jabour have collected work from a range of diverse and innovative historians. The volume uncovers more about Southern family life and values than we have previously known and raises new questions about how Southerners conceptualized family--from demographic structures, power relations, and gender roles to the relationship of family to society. In three sections, these ten essays explore the definition of family in the nineteenth-century South, examine the economics of family life, both rural and urban, and ultimately answer the question \"what did family mean in the Old South?\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48683900993771,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":51.18,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780813036762-1.jpg?v=1785761253","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780813036762","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
