Against the backdrop of 19th-century Oaxaca City, this book analyzes rapto trials - cases of abduction and/or seduction of a minor - to gain insight beyond the actual crime and into the reality that testimonies by parents, their children, and witnesses reveal about courtship practices, generational conflict, and the negotiation of honor.
