The essays in this book originally appeared in Trans-action Magazine 8vo size green clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 189 pages From jacket: "This book represents lively and contemporary sociological analysis of the paradoxical position of partial minority groups in contemporary American society. By their submergence below the threshold of public consciousness of "minority problems" these groups escape some of the pervasive indignities visited upon blacks, but precisely because of this their difficulties arouse little public indignation. The articles in this book show, the problems of these minorities and the problems they present for the majority of American society."

Albuquerque, NM: University of New Mexico Press, 1999. 8vo size trade paperback; 240 pages with some black and white illustrations From back of book: "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 has 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 man and women of all races and social classes accorded honor throughout colonial Latin America." Edgewear, bumped bottom corner.
