2. Creole

   Agualusa, José Eduardo, 1960-

   London : Arcadia, 2002.

   In the late nineteenth century, Carlos Fradique Mendes, Portuguese writer and traveller, is as much at home in Lisbon as he is in Luanda or Rio de Janeiro, all part of the Portuguese-speaking Creole world. In Angola he falls helplessly in love with Ana Olimpia Vaz de Caminha, who was born a slave and yet becomes one of the country's richest women. This tale of romance, adventure and redemption concerns itself with the fortunes of the Creole bourgeoisie of Luanda as it struggles to preserve its influence in the decades between the end of the slave trade and the onset of modern Portuguese colonialism.

3. Creole : portraits of France's foreign relations during the long nineteenth century

   Grigsby, Darcy Grimaldo

   University Park, Pennsylvania : The Pennsylvania State University Press, [2022]

   "Examines visual representations of and by persons defined as Creole, the term applied to white, Black, and mixed-race persons born in French colonies during the nineteenth century"--This book addresses the unique and profound indeterminacy of "Creole, " a label applied to white, black, and mixed-race persons born in French colonies during the nineteenth century. "Creole" implies that the geography of one's birth determines identity in ways that supersede race, language, nation, and social status. Paradoxically, the very capaciousness of the term engendered a perpetual search for visual signs of racial difference as well as a pretense to blindness about the intermingling of races in Creole society. Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby reconstructs the search for visual signs of racial difference among people whose genealogies were often repressed. She explores French representations of Creole subjects and representations by Creole artists in France, the Caribbean, and the Americas. To do justice to the complexity of Creole identity, Grigsby interrogates the myriad ways in which people defined themselves in relation to others. With close attention to the differences between Afro-Creole and Euro-Creole cultures and persons, Grigsby examines figures such as Theodore Chasseriau, Guillaume Guillon-Lethiere, Alexandre Dumas pere, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, the models Joseph and Laure, Josephine Bonaparte, Jeanne Duval, and Adah Isaacs Menken. Based on extensive archival research, Creole is an original and important examination of colonial identity. This essential study will be welcomed by specialists in nineteenth-century art history, French cultural history, the history of race, and transatlantic history more generally.
