- Title
"Honi soit qui mal y pense:" Succession, Race, and Gender in the Demi-Monde of Storyville, New Orleans.
- Authors
Neff, Aviva Helena
- Abstract
The article offers a primer on transgressions of race, class, and gender boundaries in the modern era using an example of Demi-Monde of Storyville, New Orleans. It shows byzantine racial borders created by an economy built on marketing sex with octoroons to a white male clientele, and white's queenship, constructed on a self-invented narrative of her supposed West Indian birth, linked her to New Orleans' history of Franco-Spanish colonization and creole culture.
