"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, family,
and the rise of increasingly interventionist nation-states in Latin
America, 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 America. She also
addresses the evolution of the Pan-American Child Congresses as
well as the politics of Pan-American cooperation in relation to
child welfare issues. Later essays focus 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 concept of patria potestad, or the right of male heads of
households to control family members' labor. Other essays address
such issues as public health, white slavery, and public notions of
motherhood in Argentina.
