AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study deals primarily with the upper class families of Bahia, Brazil, and with cultural change from the point of view of institutions and their often conflictive relations. The focus of the book is on the period from 1870 to 1945 -- from just before the abolition of slavery in Brazil to the end of World War II. The work is divided into seven chapters with the major topics being the general background of Bahian society for the period specified; the daily life of households and family organization among landlords, the elite, and the middle classes; the influence of formal institutions (e.g., the church) on the families of the upper class; changes and continuities in the informal ideas of Bahians about their respective families (especially in regard to courtship, honor ,and the role of women); and family organizational changes considered necessary to move out of the declining agricultural sectors and into the professions (p. 8),
