Ch5pg133"The orientalized New Orleans quadroon could be tamed and mastered to serve American interests. Once in America, the future shed her manipulative agency and assumed a position subordinated to white male interests. Her seduction by white men symbolically emasculated black men. The quadroon was an antidote to the contagion of slave rebellion borne on the currents of masculine violence that Americans so feared."
