Microhistory and defining rights in the post-revolutionary Caribbean

This talk at the University of Puerto Rico (Q&A in Spanish) features Rebecca Scott, Charles Gibson Distinguished Professor of History and Professor of Law at University of Michigan.  It encapsulates some of her latest research following individuals from one St. Domingue family who ended up playing a key role in Louisiana's constitutional convention in order to gain that state's readmission to the Union after the Civil War.  I've heard Dr. Scott talk before, and her ability to bring the lives of lesser-known individuals to light through microhistory mirrors what we learned about in Landers' book.
