Race, Place, and Medicine by Julyan G Peard
Showing how imported models of tropical medicine - constructed by colonial nations - downplayed the connection between socioeconomic factors and tropical disorders, this study of a neglected episode in Latin American history will interest Brazilianists, as well as scholars of Latin American, medical, and scientific history.
“Race, Place, and Medicine makes an important contribution to a number of fields by using medical history as a portal to a broader discussion of Brazilian national identity”— Jeffrey Lesser, author of Negotiating National Identity: Immigrants, Minorities, and the Struggle for Ethnicity in Brazil
“A very impressive and original study that is a welcome addition to what is currently a rather slim literature on the history of medicine and public health in Latin America.”— Barbara Weinstein, author of For Social Peace in Brazil
