Více o knize
The book explores the complex caste system of Spanish colonial society, highlighting the struggles of slaves who turned to African magic for empowerment, and the children of Jewish fathers and African women who sought social elevation through Judaism. Their attempts to navigate this rigid hierarchy put them at risk of persecution from the Spanish Inquisition, which fiercely targeted those seen as threats to the colonial order due to their multicultural practices and hidden identities.
