Crime has played a complicated role in the history of human social
relations. Public narratives about murders, insanity, kidnappings,
assassinations, and infanticide attempt to make sense of the
social, economic, and cultural realities of ordinary people at
different periods in history. Such stories also shape the ways
historians write about society and offer valuable insight into
aspects of life that more conventional accounts have neglected,
misunderstood, or ignored altogether.
This edited volume focuses on Mexico's social and cultural
history through the lens of celebrated cases of social deviance
from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each essay
centers on a different crime story and explores the documentary
record of each case in order to reconstruct the ways in which they
helped shape Mexican society's views of itself and of its
criminals.
