Abstract


Just as the luxurious inclinations of American criollos was proverbial, public officials and travellers from other countries were also structk by the marked contrast between the extreme destitution of some social groups and the ostentation of wealth by others. Such contrasts, which to a large extent have been perpetuated in our Iberian American societies, reflect more complex issues than the occasional frivolity of fortunate individuals. This study questions the real fundaments of the limitees obsession with ostentation of the criollos and its relation to the real choices within their reach.
