ABOUT ANNETTE'S WORK
Annette Gordon-Reed is a legal scholar and historian whose persistent investigation into the life of an iconic American president has dramatically changed the course of Jeffersonian scholarship. Fascinated from childhood by the Jefferson family, Gordon-Reed began a comprehensive re-examination of the evidence about the rumored committed relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings. Independent of her responsibilities as a law professor, she wrote her first book, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy (1997). While the liaison had been widely alleged contemporaneously and since, it was also largely dismissed, then and later, by archivists and historians. Although she is not a formally trained historian, Gordon-Reed drew on her legal training to apply context and reasonable interpretation to the sparse documentation about the shared lives of her protagonists at Monticello, in London, and in Paris. After publication, An American Controversy was received skeptically by some, but her conclusions were confirmed in 1998 when DNA evidence supported the documentary evidence of Jefferson’s genetic paternity. Gordon-Reed has continued her inquiry into colonial interracial relations in The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family (2008), which follows the Hemings family through the nineteenth century and along markedly different paths of racial assimilation and integration. In disentangling the complicated history of two distinct founding families’ interracial bloodlines, Gordon-Reed is shaping and enriching American history with an authentic portrayal of our colonial past.

Pforzheimer Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

关于安妮特的工作
安妮特-戈登-里德是一位法律学者和历史学家，她对一位具有代表性的美国总统的生活所做的不懈调查极大地改变了杰斐逊学术研究的进程。戈登-里德从小就对杰斐逊家族着迷，他开始全面地重新审视关于托马斯-杰斐逊和他的奴隶萨利-海明斯之间传闻的承诺关系的证据。在独立于法律教授的职责之外，她写了她的第一本书《托马斯-杰斐逊和莎莉-海明斯》。美国的争论》（1997年）。虽然这种联系在同时代和此后被广泛指控，但在当时和后来，它也基本上被档案管理员和历史学家所否定。虽然她不是一个受过正式训练的历史学家，但戈登-里德利用她的法律培训，对她的主人公在蒙蒂塞洛、伦敦和巴黎的共同生活的稀少文件进行了背景和合理解释。出版后，《美国之争》受到了一些人的怀疑，但她的结论在1998年得到了证实，当时DNA证据支持了杰斐逊的遗传父子关系的文件证据。戈登-里德在《蒙特塞洛的海明斯》中继续探究殖民时期的种族间关系。美国家庭》（2008年）中继续探究殖民时期的跨种族关系，该书讲述了海明斯家族在19世纪的种族同化和融合过程中明显不同的路径。在解开两个不同的建国家庭的种族间血统的复杂历史时，戈登-里德正在塑造和丰富美国历史，对我们的殖民地历史进行真实的描绘。
