A contemporary of Columbus noted "those crazy Spaniards have more
regard for a bit of honor than for a thousand lives." This
obsession flourished in the New World, where status, privilege, and
rank became cornerstones of the colonial social order. Honor had
many faces. To a freed black woman in Brazil it proscribed spousal
abuse and permitted her to petition the Church for permission to
leave her husband. To a high church official charged with sodomy in
Alto Peru, honor signified the privileges and legal exceptions
available to those of his background and social position. These
nine original essays assess the role and importance men and women
of all races and social classes accorded honor throughout colonial
Latin America. "The best work on honor in Latin America and an
invaluable and insightful volume. A must for both scholars and
classroom use."--Professor Susan M. Socolow, Emory University
