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.

Trade Review
“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
