Marriage choice plays a crucial role in the formation and decay of
social classes. Endogamy, the custom forbidding marriage outside
one"s social class, is thus central to social history. The study
considers the factors determining who married whom, whether partner
selection has changed over time and regional differences between
Europe and South America. The volume also questions to what extent
these factors have changed over the past three hundred years. The
case studies presented are preceded by a state-of-the-art
theoretical introduction on the determinants influencing trends in
social endogamy. Each contributor has employed the same
social-class scheme and thus the volume is the first comparative
study of social endogamy in an historical context.
