Monica Miller's Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity is reviewed in Publishers Weekly. The reviewer calls the book, a cultural history of the black dandy, "a stimulating study of the social meaning of fashion in the black community," and concludes that Miller "offers an incisive, nuanced analysis of a rich vein of cultural history." The book will be available in November.
