Abstract

This is the first overall analysis of the sumptuary laws in Portugal and its empire from beginning to end. It is based on legislation, but also on material cultural, political debate and correspondence. It shows the selective impact on the colonies, relatively spared from this legislation, as well as the reduced impact on women. The role of the Enlightenment to terminate this legislation is addressed here.
