Opis

Against the backdrop of 19th-century Oaxaca City, Sloan analyzes 'rapto' trials (cases of abduction and/or seduction of a minor) to gain insight into what the testimonies by parents, their children, and witnesses reveal about courtship between the state and its working-class citizens in post colonial Mexico.
