Description

Book Synopsis
Extinguishing a public health threat is difficult under any condition, let alone during a national revolution. In this first comprehensive study of tuberculosis in Cuba, Kelly Urban analyses the medical, social, and governmental responses to the highly contagious disease as the island was heading into and emerging from the Revolution of 1959.

Trade Review
Well-researched . . . This focus on Cuban public health policy and the interaction between the governments and citizens, and not just on tuberculosis, makes Radical Prescription of interest both to historians of medicine and generalists interested in Latin American history."—H-Sci-Med-Tech
