Migrant clinics and hookworm science : the peripheral origins of international health, 1840-1914 -- Launching global health -- Local material : social and political character of the missions -- The intensive method -- Laboratories of Creole modernity (or, The demon that turned into worms) -- Many missions
Despite several studies on the social, cultural, and political histories of medicine and of public health in different parts of Latin America and the Caribbean, local and national focuses still predominate, and there are few panoramic studies that analyze the overarching tendencies in the development of health in the region. This comprehensive book summarizes the social history of medicine, medical education, and public health in Latin America and places it in dialogue with the international historiographical currents in medicine and health. Ultimately, this text provides a clear, broad, and provocative synthesis of the history of Latin American medical developments while illuminating the recent challenges of global health in the region and other developing countries
