The details of Kozma's depictions distract her from fully representing the legal system that preceded Ottoman reform, and her study, therefore, fails to convey the dynamics of change over time. Students of social history will nonetheless find in Kozma a worthy model, as from her pen, both state officials and subalterns emerge as historical subjects. Scholars of legal history will appreciate both the suggestions Kozma makes about the role of the courtroom in the evolution of the Egyptian state, and the variety of cases witnessed in khedival-state courtrooms. Policing Egyptian Women will find an eager audience in students of Egyptian history, legal history, women's history, and subaltern studies. Kozma's conclusions will manifest themselves in further studies, as will her models for writing history from the margins.

Drawing on official and private correspondence, published and unpublished reports, and numerous mémoires, it considers the variety of individuals involved in the discussion – merchants, colonists, soldiers, and French officials from around the Atlantic basin – and the many plans proposed to clear and settle the colony from sending free, enslaved, or indentured Africans to French Guiana to encouraging the migration of white Europeans or subsidizing the transport of colonists from France's former holdings in Louisiana and Saint Domingue. In so doing, it explores how ideas about race and place informed ideas about the future form of the French empire and the composition of the colonial family in the postrevolutionary Atlantic. It also illustrates the important connections among France's former and existing holdings in the Gulf South, the Caribbean, and Senegal, the complex personal and professional networks developed by individuals migrating, voluntarily or involuntarily, around the Atlantic basin after the close of the Napoleonic wars, and the ways individuals in France's pre- and postrevolutionary colonies built on such relationships to negotiate a new economic and political climate.

According to official reports and eyewitness accounts, the incident started in the cane fields of Monsieur Perrinelle, a prominent creole, and soon spread as the group of slaves made their way from plantation to plantation. Along their route they invoked the revolutionary fervor that had recently swept France, singing to the tune of the "Parisienne," "march forward against the planters" and "wash our furrows with the blood of whites." On receiving news of the events, Martinique's new governor, contre-Amiral Jean Henri Joseph Dupotet, called the colonial militias-both white and mulatto-and rebecca Hartkopf Schloss is assistant professor of history at texas A&M University. She is writing a book on the construction of white identity in the early-nineteenth-century French Atlantic. the author thanks cyndy Bouton, Anthony Mora, Bill reddy, Steven Schloss, and members of the History Department Junior Faculty and the Melbern G. Glasscock center for Humanities research working groups for their comments on an earlier version of this article. She also extends her gratitude to the anonymous reviewers and the editors of French Historical Studies for their many helpful suggestions. the Program to enhance Scholarly and creative Achievement and the Department of History at texas A&M University provided generous research support. Unlike in the British or Spanish caribbean, throughout the eighteenth century and during the first half of the nineteenth century, in Martinique the term Creole always designated a white individual born in the colonies. When used by those born in the colonies, and in particular by the island's elites, it most often was intended as a compliment and implied that the individual understood the complexities of colonial life and, in particular, of the plantation system. When used by a French european, either in the colonies or in metropolitan France, the term Creole usually implied that an individual was uncultivated or uncivilized. Because it is often, though not always, capitalized in the original documents related to nineteenth-century Martinique, i capitalize the term here. For a recent discussion on the use of the term, see carolyn Allen, "creole then and Now: the Problem of Definition,"
