Stationary destinations? Families, strategies and generational change in Spain and Latin America (16th-19th centuries) brings together a series of contributions that analyze how families, as entities that assimilate and, at the same time, shape the social space, proceed to plan their strategies, to modify and/or adapt them, but also to contravene or annul them, in a game of individual interests and of the family home within the context of a less static and immobile society than what has traditionally been presented. Calculated destinies and uncontrollable contingencies oppose each other to offer us, between both extremes, an image of family trajectories that are not always as linear or pre-established as a priori are usually contemplated. Faced with the concept of family strategy, generally used in a mechanical and unidirectional way, This book shows how intergenerational relations in societies of the past were more open than supposed, in line with the new approaches currently defended by the renewed social history. Spanish and Latin American researchers come together in this work, raised in the long term, with the aim of continuing to deepen and advance in the history of the family as a research perspective on both sides of the Atlantic.
