Despite the community's critical role under French and then Spanish rule, this is the study of its society and economy. It demonstrates not only the persistence of this creole dominance but also how it was maintained. It examines the ethnic cultures present in the town and relations with Indians in the surrounding area.

Now revised and expanded, this work revisits Cane River's 'forgotten people' and incorporates new findings and insight gleaned across thirty-five years of further research to provide a nuanced portrayal of the lives of Creole slaves and the roles allowed to freed people of colour, tackling race, gender, and slave holding by former slaves.
