The eighteenth century in New Spain witnessed major changes: among these, one of the most significant was the adoption of French customs among the upper groups of society in response to the spreading ideas of the Enlightenment. These new ideas, it has been assumed, brought a relaxation of social customs. But Viqueira Alban takes this assumption, and raises the question: Was it really a period of relaxation of social customs, in this age of growth without development? He discovered that the movement of rural workers and their families to urban centers created a concern within the church and government hierarchy about the threat of disorder, leading to the need for new social restraints. This text is ideal for colonial Latin American survey courses, courses on the history of Mexico and Latin American literature, and courses on the popular culture and social history of Latin America..

This book takes the point of view that permissiveness in child rearing is necessary and appropriate for the infant, but as the child becomes more independent and contacts the world on his/her own terms, the doctrine becomes weak and ineffectual while parental guidance and supervision becomes increasingly important. The child initially knows little or nothing of his/her world and must learn about it through loving, caring and reliable guidance and firm control. Phillips discusses the need for a "structuring" of the child's social activity which includes an authoritative (versus authoritarian) parent/teacher style.
