Exquisite Slaves: Race, Clothing, and Status in Colonial Lima

byTamara J. Walker

Focused on race, Clothing, and Status in Colonial Lima, Exquisite Slaves brings Tamara J. Walker's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of history. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Together, these elements make Exquisite Slaves an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
