Laura M. Shelton. For Tranquility and Order: Family and Community on Mexico's Northern Frontier, 1800–1850
Laura M. Shelton's fine-grained and thoughtful study reveals the ways that gender ideology and practice established the “republican family” in the Mexican state of Sonora. Shelton examines over 700 court cases in order to portray a frontier society where indigenous resistance to the Mexican state fed discourses contrasting “civilization,” founded on strictly observed class hierarchies and patriarchal authority, to “savagery,” defined as immoralit…
Children of Fate: Childhood, Class, and the State in Chile, 1850 - 1930
This richly researched and closely argued study by Nara Milanich examines the experiences of children from 1850 to 1930 to reveal how Chile’s liberal state, premised on individual equality before the law, produced inequality. Drawing extensively from judicial and notarial sources and the records of Santiago’s Casa de Huérfanos, Milanich elucidates the instrumental role of kinship in state and class formation. Families able to document their relat…
Speaking of Work and Family: Reciprocity, Child Labor, and Social Reproduction, Mexico City, 1920 - 1940
The belief that children should earn their keep is one of the most significant differences between past and present concepts of childhood. This article examines child labor in Mexico City during the 1920s and 1930s, a period of rapid change in ideas about children's economic and social roles. In the decades following Mexico's revolution, activists in Mexico's child health and protection movement condemned child labor on the grounds that it harmed…

Abandonment, Adoption and Reproductive Disruption: Transitions in child circulation in Mexico City, 1880-1910
To explore meanings attached to children in Mexican society, this article examines two changing aspects of child circulation, a widespread reproductive disruption to the families of Mexico City's working poor. In the late 1890s, a rapid rise in admissions to the public foundling home was matched by a striking increase in retrievals. At the other end of the social spectrum, growing preference for adopting infants and young children indicates that …

Bringing It Back Home: Perspectives on Gender and Family History in Modern Mexico
Lately, study of the family as a special set of historical questions has fallen out of fashion in modern Latin American history. Yet in increasing numbers, gender historians are examining courtship and sexual behavior, marital conflict, reproductive health, women's domestic labor, institutions that intersect with families, like education, medicine, and welfare, and political deployment of family‐based ideologies. Has gender history replaced famil…
Conspicuous Benevolence: Liberalism, Public Welfare, and Private Charity in Porfirian Mexico City, 1877-1910
If the charity that one practices for adults honors and gratifies, that which one engages in for children redeems and glorifies,” wrote Juan de Dios Peza, poet and playwright, in his journalistic chronicle of public welfare under the government of Porfirio Díaz. Peza elaborated: “If charity is beautiful when exercised in favor of adults, it is a divine reflection, a smile of God, when given to children.” Peza's imagery evoked religious charity of…
Public Welfare and Child Circulation, Mexico City, 1877 to 1925
Nineteenth-century trends in abandonment to Mexico City's foundling home, the Casa de Niños Expósitos, reflected changing social, economic, and political enti tlements to family life. Even as liberal governments rewrote family law and reor ganized welfare, abandonment remained linked to constructs of family honor and ritual kinship datingfrom the colonial period. But by the late 1890s, migration and economic stress had created a new poor who reli…
