Casta Painting: Images of Race in Eighteenth-Century Mexico
edited by Ilona Katzew

This beautifully illustrated book--the first in-depth study of the mesmerizing and colorful casta paintings from colonial Mexico--places them in social and historical context.

"Casta paintings, a phenomenon of eighteenth-century Mexico, portraying mixed racial families and their offspring, have received increasing attention over the past 15 years for what they reveal about control and structure in that colonial society. Katzew's superbly illustrated book is now the indispensable reference on the subject. . . . This is an important study for various disciplines concerned with colonial Latin America. . . . Highly recommended. "
