Description

This volume is a study of the power relationships inherent in domestic architecture and household material culture that were essential to the maintenance of the Spanish colonial empire. Using the household spatial patterning, furnishings, and personal belongings of residents of the highland city of Cuenca, Ecuador, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the book examines gender, ethnic, and status relations in the colonial Andean world.
