The Conquest of Malaria: Italy, 1900-1962
At the outset of the twentieth century, malaria was Italy's major public health problem. It was the cause of low productivity, poverty, and economic backwardness, while it also stunted literacy, limited political participation, and undermined the army. In this book Frank Snowden recounts how Italy became the world center for the development of malariology as a medical discipline and launched the first national campaign to eradicate the disease. S…

Naples in the Time of Cholera, 1884-1911
Fields of Death’: Malaria in Italy, 1861–1962
For the century following Unification, malaria was the principal Italian public health problem. This article seeks to explain this high incidence and explores its impact both on the sufferer and on society. An eradication campaign began after Unification; gathered momentum at the turn of the century; and achieved victory following the Second World War. Important themes are the growing understanding of malaria; the search for weapons to combat it;…
Naples in the Time of Cholera, 1884–1911
This 1995 book is a medical and social history of Italy's largest city during the cholera epidemics of 1884 and 1910–11. It explores the factors that exposed Naples to risk; it examines such popular responses as social hysteria, riots and religiosity; and it traces therapeutic strategies. Cholera also became a metaphor for discontent with the regime: the 1884 outbreak was a national issue which led to the rebuilding of the city amidst widespread …

Blacks in Antiquity: Ethiopians in the Greco-Roman Experience
On the Social Origins of Agrarian Fascism in Italy
Before turning directly to fascism, we should recall certain facts that form the background to all that follows. In 1919, Italy, a country of about 35 million people, should be characterized neither as industrialized nor as underdeveloped, but as slowly and very unevenly industrializing. Still predominantly agricultural, the Italian peninsula can be divided into three distinct areas with markedly different social structures, each undergoing in ve…

Blacks in Antiquity
Blacks in antiquity: Ethiopians in Greco-Roman experience
Investigates the participation of black Africans, usually referred to as "Ethiopians," by the Greek and Romans, in classical civilization, concluding that they were accepted by pagans and Christians without prejudice.
Ethiopians and the Isiac Worship
This paper has collected archaeological, literary and other evidence which shows (1) that Ethiopians, before leaving their native land for other regions were devoted to Isiac worship ; (2) that those Ethiopians who, for various reasons, had settled in Greece or Italy continued their interest in the Isiac cult and played perhaps a larger rôle in the spread of Isiac worship than has been generally realized
