For Tranquility and Order

Family and Community on Mexico's Northern Frontier, 1800-1850

Beschreibung

Plumbs the legal archives of early Sonora to reveal the extent to which both court officials and quarreling relatives imagined connections between gender hierarchies and civilized order. It describes how the region's nascent legal system became the institution through which spouses, parents, children, employers, and servants settled disputes, and reveals how these daily encounters in the local courts contributed to the formation of republican governance on Mexico's northwestern frontier.
