Book Synopsis
Explores elite notions of crime and criminality from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. In Mexico these notions represented contested areas of the social terrain, places where generalised ideas about criminality transcended the individual criminal act to intersect with larger issues of class, race, gender, and sexuality.

Trade Review
"What Buffington has given us is an interesting view of intellectuals' ideas about crime and Mexican society. It gives us an important critical lens to examine elites's visions of their society."-Joel Horowitz, Latin American Research Review -- Joel Horowitz Latin American Research Review
