Abstract "Enslaved people from the French colonies were deeply woven into the fabric of revolutionary Paris, occupying domestic positions in wealthy homes and suffusing every corner of city life. Miranda Spieler examines this complex dimension of revolutionary society, ignored in standard histories but integral to a transformative moment."-- Provided by publisher.
