Deviant and Useful Citizens: The Cultural Production of the Female Body in Eighteenth-Century Peru
This book examines how the Bourbon Reforms and Enlightenment ideas affected the attitudes of male administrators and intellectuals about women by studying their writings about the female body. The research crosses legal, religious, and scientific discourses and rests on legal documents as well as lesser known publications slighted by literary scholars and historians. The study’s originality comes from its exploration of the gendered meaning of ne…
Intelectuales y poder: Ensayos en torno a la república de las letras en el Perú e Hispanoamérica (ss. XVI - XX)
This is a most welcome and effective volume of essays. Eighteen authors contributed to the project that mostly examines the relationships between intellectuals and power in Peru from the sixteenth century to the present (there are also essays on Antonio Nariño and the Chilean liberal Martín Palma). The task these scholars tackled was to rescue Peruvian intellectual history from the “history of ideas approach”; they view the intellectuals as true …
Historia de las mujeres en España y América Latina
The 38 essays in Historia de las mujeres en España y América Latina, volume 3, reflect the major historiographical issues that inform Spanish and Latin American research about women, gender, and feminist history. Most essays concentrate on the 1840 – 1920 period and are based on extensive monographic research, although footnotes are not provided. Since the quality of the individual essays is high, the book contains many valuable historical nugget…
In the Absence of Priests: Young Women as Apostles to the Poor, Chile 1922–1932
The Roman Catholic Church in Chile first acknowledged its inability to pastor its flock in the 1920s because of an acute shortage of priests. Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, SJ addressed the clerical crisis in a 1936 article, La Crisis Sacerdotal en Chile . When critics found his analysis “exaggerated,” he conducted a survey of Chilean religious practices and published the findings in a controversial essay entitled Es Chile un país católico? which is s…
Porque la quiero tanto: Historia del amor en la sociedad rioplatense (1750-1860)
While studies of sexuality, marriage, and honor appear with greater frequency on Latin American bibliographies, those dealing with love and affection are rare finds. By carefully rereading judicial records and uncovering private correspondence, Carlos A. Mayo reintroduces emotion and romance into early Argentine national history. A compact study arranged in seven chapters and a documentary appendix, Porque la quiero tanto contains two essential s…
Religion, Gender Ideology, and the Training of Female Public Elementary School Teachers in Nineteenth Century Chile
After only five days she felt like a different person, so much unpicked and resown and made over to a different pattern.... Catholicism isn’t a religion, it’s a nationality. In her four years at [school], it [religion] had grown into every fiber of her nature; she could not eat or sleep or read or play without relating every action to her secret life as a Christian and a Catholic. She rejoiced in it and rebelled against it. She tried to imagine w…
Confronting Change, Challenging Tradition: Women in Latin American History
Understanding the role of women in Latin American history demands a full examination of their activities in the region's political, economic, and domestic spheres. Toward this end, historian Gertrude M. Yeager has assembled the multidisciplinary collection Confronting Change, Challenging Tradition. The essays in this volume explore the ways in which Latin American women have shaped-and have been shaped by-the traditional practices and ideologies …
Elite Education in Nineteenth-Century Chile
T HE elite of nineteentlh-century Chile has traditionally been seen as disciplined, progressive, and indudstiious. Both Chilean and foreign scholars have generally accepted the argument that such essentially bourgeois chairacteristics underlay the nation's uniquie political stability and economic pIrosperity. In fact, this pervasive view of Chilean history probably has some meiIt. To a remarkable extent, Chile's gente decente, as the elite styled…

Women's Roles in Nineteenth-Century Chile: Public Education Records, 1843-1883
In 1877 Miguel Luis Amunátegui, noted historian and Chile's Minister of Education, observed aptly that while the Chinese bound their daughters' feet, his countrymen bound their daughters' minds. Amunátegui's dictum reveals an official concern for women's education that was unique in nineteenth-century Latin America. Chile's efforts to remove the "bindings" from the minds of its young women are important in several respects. Education was in fact …
The Club de la Unión and Kinship: Social Aspects of Political Obstructionism in the Chilean Senate, 1920-1924
In 1920, Chile entered a transitional period during which political issues sparked intense social tensions. A fundamental reform of the Alianza Liberal coalition was to open the political system to fuller citizen participation, a prospect which threatened the Chilean elite. To thwart reform and change, an oligarchy, closely united by kinship ties and mutual interest, pursued a policy of obstructionism in the Senate which effectively paralyzed gov…
