Preview Monuments of Progress: Modernization and Public Health in Mexico City 1876-1910 (Latin American & Caribbean)

Description:
This title presents a social & cultural history of public health in Mexico during the late 1800s & early 1900s. The book offers a fresh take on the history of medicine & public health by shifting away from the history of epidemic disease & heroic accounts of medical men & toward looking at public health in a broader social framework. It shows how new public health policies were instrumental in the 'modernisation' of Mexico. This title adds to a small, but fast-growing body of literature, on the history of public health in Latin America & other developing areas of the world.
