Margaret Ball Book Inter-American organization is extremely flexible. It has developed gradually since 1889 through the modification of existing agencies and the creation of new ones to deal with a variety of political, economic, and social problems, as well as those relating to intellectual co-operation. It is time now for a review of the structure and functions of these agencies in the light of increased responsibilities which have devolved upon them in recent years, and to consider the role which they may be expected to play in the postwar period. Miss Ball has met that need. She has provided an objective, organizational study directed at the problem of the future development of the system rather than a historical study. The functional approach is stressed. This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the following original edition: The Problem of Inter-American Organization M.

The Family in Bahia, Brazil, 1870-1945 $25.48 Dain Borges Book The families of the Bahian upper class offer a vantage point from which to examine the changes in Brazilian culture around the turn of the twentieth century. Slow, yet palpable, shifts in mentalities, in customs, and in the informal organization of Brazilian society manifested themselves partly as changes in the family. Bahian families also provide a touchstone by which to measure the effects of official social reforms. The government, the Catholic Church, the medical profession, and free-lance social movements such as feminism all tried to reform the Bahian family. But their leverage was feeble, and the outcomes they achieved were sometimes unexpected. Between 1870 and 1945 Behian families changed, partly in response to exhortations, fads, new laws, and new ideologies. But they transformed themselves largely in response to an insecure and urbanizing economy. The shifts were subtle, and to a great extent they left intact the traditional structures. The primary change in Bahian families was a shift from a more patriarchal model of the family toward one that was more “companionate” in marriage, and more “conjugal” or “nuclear” in its definition of kinship. This sort of change was not unique to Brazil. A similar shift occurred in many parts of the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But Brazilian culture seems to have resisted this change, perhaps more than was the case in Europe. Brazilian families preserved many of their traditional features, such as extended kinship affiliation. One the one hand, the Brazilian family become deceptively similar to the family in France or the United States; on the other hand, if retained customs and roles that seemed exotic to outsiders, such as the preference fro endogamous marriage or the routines of vida em familia, “life in the family cycle.” Bahia Society 10 Bahian , cacao , Estado Novo 2 Home Life 46 middle class , genipap , Gilberto Freyre Medicine and Families 85 wet nurse , Bahia , defloration The Law Political Reforms and the Family 112 canon law , Bahian , civil marriage Church and Family 152 marriage , godparents , Antonio Vieira Common Sense 186 godparents , ethic of reciprocity , coronelismo Mobility and Family Strategies 237 endogamous , daugh , Freyre Conclusion 274 travel literature , Brazilian literature , Wildberger Glossary 291 Itapagipe , Augusto da Silva , IBGE Bibliography 381 Arquivo , Bahia , Pinho Index 413 The State of Bahia 14 canon law , wet nurse , coronelismo Chart The Sodre Family Tree 248 novitiates , number of siblings , Traditional Families Sample Age at Marriage 254 Itapagipe , Augusto da Silva , IBGE
