Description

White Slavery and Mothers Alive and Dead brings together a diverse set of essays exploring topics ranging from public health and child welfare to criminality and industrialization. What the essays have in common is their gendered connection to work, circle of relatives, and the upward thrust of more and more interventionist nation-states in Latin The us, and particularly in Argentina.

Donna J. Guy first looks at Latin American women from a general and international perspective. She explores which paradigms are most useful in studying gender history in Latin The us. She also addresses the evolution of the Pan-American Child Congresses in addition to the politics of Pan-American cooperation with regards to child welfare issues. Later essays focal point on Argentina in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Guy looks at how women were affected by systems of forced labor, and she illuminates changes in the idea that of patria potestad, or the right of male heads of households to regulate members of the family’ labor. Other essays address such issues as public health, white slavery, and public notions of motherhood in Argentina.
