  • Tuberculosis: Past and Present

    Stacie D A Burke, Stacie BurkeARTICLEReviews in Anthropology2011References: 40

    Tuberculosis is an infectious disease with a long and established association with human populations. This review discusses and integrates an ethnographic study of public health fieldwork in the 1990s North American resurgence of tuberculosis and a bioarchaeological evaluation of tuberculosis in antiquity. Based on these works, this article explores a series of useful themes of relevance across anthropology, from microbe, to patient, to social st…

  • The Barefooted Foreigner: A Case Study of the Scapegoat in Nineteenth-Century Gibraltar

    Lawrence A Sawchuk, Stacie D A Burke et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology2008References: 7

    In 1885, a cholera epidemic threatened the British fortress colony of Gibraltar. As opposed to previous cholera epidemics, this outbreak was marked by scapegoating, and Maltese immigrants were repeatedly blamed for the threat of disease in the colony. The historical evidence suggests that this scapegoating was more likely a by-product of sociopolitical tensions relating to immigration than any true medical or epidemiological reality

  • A Matter of Privilege: Infant Mortality in the Garrison Town of Gibraltar, 1870-1899

    Open AccessLawrence A Sawchuk, Stacie D A Burke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family History2002Cited by: 1

    The British colony of Gibraltar offers an opportunity to compare the infant mortality rates of the civilian and military populations inhabiting a small-scale urban setting from 1870 to 1899. Both groups shared the same poor-quality housing, the same sanitary infrastructure, and the same environmental inseparability. Sufficient water supply, in particular, proved to be a daily struggle for the families living on the Rock. Privilege for the militar…

  • Alien encounters: The jus soli and reproductive politics in the 19th-century fortress and colony of Gibraltar

    Stacie D A Burke, Stacie Burke et al.ARTICLEThe History of the Family2001Cited by: 3References: 3

    In a place where land was scarce and military security paramount, population growth was perceived as Gibraltar's most insidious curse. While British law protected the rightful residence of those who were recognized by the early 19th century definition of Gibraltar “native,” colonial authorities realized that the local population was also increasing by other means. The tenet of the jus soli became one of Gibraltar's most notable weaknesses in atte…

  • Marriage in 1901 Canada: An Ecological Perspective

    Open AccessStacie D A Burke, Stacie BurkeARTICLEJournal of Family History2001Cited by: 1

    In the absence of comprehensive national-level databases, historical patterns of Canadian marriage behavior remain poorly understood. This study draws on the Canadian Families Project’s 5 percent sample of the 1901 Census of Canada to contextualize district-level variation in both the timing and intensity of marriage among Canadian women and men. Local constraints and freedoms on marriage were conceptualized by a selection of marriage-market, eco…
