Recenzii

"This is an outstanding work both in terms of its highly original research and its very sophisticated interpretation." -Barbara Weinstein, author of For Social Peace in Brazil: Industrialists and the Remaking of the Working Class in Sao Paulo, 1920-1964 "The author is to be applauded for asking hard questions about the ways in which sexual activity, or the lack thereof, are used to make statements about race and class." -Jeffrey Lesser, author of Negotiating National Identity: Immigrants, Minorities, and the Struggle for Ethnicity in Brazil "In Defense of Honor is engaging ... Caulfield does demonstrate the complexities of legal and cultural change that took place during Brazil's rapid modernization in the early twentieth century, and, crucially, she has listened creatively to the way ordinary people struggled to make sense of a shadowy corner of human relations."--Times Literary Supplement, March 16 2001 "Caufield's study provides a rich and fascinating portrait of changes in urban life in Rio de Janeiro while making contributions to debates about gender, biology, virginity, the body, race, class and culture."--Jrnl of Latin American Studies, August 2002
