James A. Baer. Anarchist Immigrants in Spain and Argentina
Anarchists in Spain and Argentina were a highly visible part of the political landscape in the decades after 1890, as in other European and American nations. James Baer’s book delineates the rise and fall of anarchist factions in these two countries, interwoven as they were, from their heyday in the years before 1900 until their eclipse around the end of the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. While historians often recognize the coupling of Atl…
Beyond Prejudice and Pride
Grappling with problematics of status and hierarchy, recent literature on the history of the human sciences in Latin America has gone through three overlapping phases. First, the scholarship has reflected a dialogue between Latin American scientists and their European colleagues, characterized by the "center/periphery" model of scientific diffusion. Next, scholars drew on postcolonial theory to undermine the power of the "center" and to recover t…
Diego Armus. The Ailing City
This work is an expanded and reorganized translation of Diego Armus's 2007 book, originally published in Spanish as La ciudad impura: Salud, tuberculosis y cultura en Buenos Aires, 1870–1950. Eagerly awaited by historians of medicine, the English version is a welcome addition to the growing study of medicine in the Latin American social context. Tuberculosis is, as Armus points out early on, one of the most written-about diseases. The Argentine c…
A Complex Fabric
This essay describes historians' recent and growing awareness of the significance of science in modern Latin America. It focuses first on the work and influence of the historian Nancy Leys Stepan, who in the past 30 years pioneered the joining of methods in the history of science - in particular, the tendency to see science in its specific social context - with some of the most central concerns of Latin Americanists. For example, a key contributi…
Introduction
Medicine and Politics in Colonial Peru
A new generation of scholars is examining the complex outcomes of the Bourbon reforms in the Spanish colonies. Adam Warren’s Medicine and Politics in Colonial Peru: Population Growth and Bourbon Reform is a creative addition to this intriguing literature. Putting doctors and medicine at the center of the story allows Warren to expose the multiple and complicated interactions among numerous social and cultural groups in late Peruvian politics and …
Science, Culture, and Modern State Formation
This well-written, tightly argued book takes an uncommon setting, Ireland under British colonial occupation in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, to demonstrate how science, medicine and technology are central and indispensable forces in modern state formation. A heady mix of the theoretical and the particular, Carroll's study uses the Irish case to show how science is a constitutive part of modern states. As a frame, he uses a model o…
Inoculating against Barbarism? State Medicine and Immigrant Policy in Turn-of-the-Century Argentina
Argument The border in turn-of-the-century Argentina was a place of heightened anxiety. State officials ignored the nation's vast land borders and focused on the port, located in the capital city of Buenos Aires, which attracted nearly six million European immigrants in the decades after 1870. Federal authorities were seeking to attract new immigrants and yet they were terrified that opening their gates would allow entry among the potential citiz…
