"The Devil's Lane is useful for those who would understand gender
and race in the eastern United States before 1800, and for those
who seek ideas for a broader understanding of the
Southwest."--Southwestern Historical Quarterly
"The inventive methodologies and high quality of the research and
analysis make this pathbreaking collection an outstanding
contribution to the scholarship of the American South. Certainly
this exciting book will bring the early South newly alive for many
readers."--William and Mary Quarterly
"This collection of seventeen essays by both established and
emerging scholars is as felicitous an introduction for newcomers as
it is an update for veterans of the 'brawling, sprawling convivial
enterprise' that is early southern history....The power of this
collection lies in its ability to convey the labyrinthine quality
of racial and gender structures."--Catherine Kerrison, The Virginia
Magazine of History and Biography
"An excellent collection of scholarship on the early South that
highlights opportunities for future research on gender and race."
The Alabama Review
"Some of the most provocative and exciting recent work on race,
gender, and sexuality in southern colonial history." - -Religious
