Title: Family money
Description: Combining nuanced literary interpretations with significant legal cases, 'Family Money' reveals a shared preoccupation with the financial quandaries emerging from interracial sexuality in nineteenth-century America. At stake, Clymer shows, were the very notions of family and the long-term distribution of wealth in the United States.
