Description: "Engaging anthology of seven essays examines sociocultural realities of daily life for individual Venezuelans. Two essays explore divorce, one within an aristocratic marriage and one for a free-black couple. Two essays utilize biography to analyze love, honor, and matrimony within black and casta societies. The other three examine sociopolitical dynamics of disjunction between popular standards of sexual morality and actual behavior"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
