Thank-you @robtaber.bsky.social for sharing my work for OI25!
Starting a new thread for @deirdrelyons.bsky.social's paper, sharing a few case studies from the second chapter of her book-in-progress, looking at how women of color in Martinique sought freedom for their children. #OI2025

Ok, this is really cool: @deirdrelyons.bsky.social is looking at the family networks that (some) mixed race children had on their mother's side, which mattered as the French government liberalized laws regarding manumission in the 1830s and 1840s. #OI2025
