The Right to Live in Health: Medical Politics in Postindependence Havana
Historians of Cuba have been prolific in documenting changes in the late nineteenth century and in the years around the 1959 Cuban Revolution, with the early republic—the years following the US occupation of 1898–1902—relegated, with a few exceptions, to a footnote of intellectual stagnation. But in The Right to Live in Health: Medical Politics in Postindependence Havana, Daniel A. Rodríguez shows how during this time Cuba was in fact at the fore…
Revisiting "What Is an Epidemic?" in the Time of Covid-19: Lessons from the History of Latin American Public Health

The Question of Racial Immunity to Yellow Fever in History and Historiography
The belief that West and Central Africans and their descendants in the New World enjoy an innate immunity or resistance to yellow fever persists in the writings of many historians. They offer three arguments that such a racial immunity actually exists: first, that a consensus on the matter prevailed among historical observers of the disease; second, that patterns of lethality during yellow fever epidemics demonstrate it to be true; and third, bec…
Globalizing the History of Disease, Medicine, and Public Health in Latin America
The history of Latin America, the history of disease, medicine, and public health, and global history are deeply intertwined, but the intersection of these three fields has not yet attracted sustained attention from historians.

This essay identifies the distin…
