摘要

摘要：19世纪的一位名叫Betsy Love的Chickasaw妇女为确保她的财产不会因丈夫的债务而被没收，进行了一场法律斗争。她在这方面的成功作为密西西比州1839年《已婚妇女财产法》以及随后其他多个州的类似法律的先驱而载入史册，所有这些法律都首次允许白人女性与丈夫分开持有财产。唯一的问题是什么？Betsy的“财产”是一个名叫Toney的被奴役者，奴隶制对Chickasaw民族的经济文化演变至关重要——然而，对此案的讨论并没有充分考虑到这对更广泛的Chickasaow历史和身份意味着什么。本文简要探讨了种族、性别和部落身份的交叉点。

At the Intersection of Chickasaw Identity and Black Enslavement

Abstract:A nineteenth-century Chickasaw woman, Betsy Love, fought a legal battle to ensure that her property could not be seized for her husband's debts. Her success in this endeavor has gone down in history as a lauded precursor to Mississippi's 1839 Married Women's Property Act and, subsequently, similar laws in multiple other states, all of which allowed white women to, for the first time, hold property separate from their husbands. The only problem? Betsy's "property" was an enslaved person named Toney, and slavery was essential to the Chickasaw Nation's economy cultural evolution—and, yet, discussions of this case have not fully reckoned with what this means for broader Chickasaw history and identity. This essay briefly explores this intersection of race, gender, and tribal identity.

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
