Paying the Price of Freedom

Christine Hünefeldt documents in impressive, moving detail the striving and ingenuity, the hard-won triumphs and bitter defeats of slaves who sought liberation in nineteenth-century urban Peru.

In lucid and accessible prose, the author provides a gripping account of 131 years of politics, warfare and social conflict.
