Exquisite Slaves: Race, Clothing, and Status in Colonial Lima
Walker, Tamara J. (University of Pennsylvania)

Drawing on a diverse range of sources and analyses, Walker demonstrates that in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Lima clothing signified both the reach and limits of slaveholders' power and racial domination.
