BJERG, María. Vínculos mestizos: Historias de amor y parentesco en la campaña de Buenos Aires en el siglo XIX. Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2007, n.30, pp.73-99. ISSN 0524-9767.

This paper studies sexual and marital practices of Indian women and Hispanic/ Creole men in the frontier of Buenos Aires in the 19th century. It explores the creation of a Métis culture through the analysis of family, kinship and god-parenthood ties seeking to illuminate from a different angle the relationship between heathens and Christians which has been mostly studied from the standpoint of commerce, treaties and war.

Keywords : Metis ties; Women; Frontier; Family.
