Environment, Urbanization, and Public Health: The Bubonic Plague Epidemic of 1912 in San Juan, Puerto Rico
In this article I focus on the nexus of urbanization, the environment and public health that was exposed by the 1912 bubonic plague epidemic in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I utilize the concept of “urban health penalty,” developed by demographic historians of the industrial revolution in Europe, to account for the declining health of the working class in cities. While in Europe poor health among the urban poor was associated with industrialization, I …
La Paz's Colonial Specters: Urbanization, Migration, and Indigenous Political Participation, 1900-52
In this study Luis Sierra examines how Indigenous residents of La Paz, Bolivia, built and modernized the city and defended their rights as citizens at a time when the intellectual and political elite was mostly trying to keep them out of the city or to isolate them in strictly controlled Indigenous areas. Through mutual aid societies, lay confraternities, neighborhood organizations, and militant labor federations, Indigenous people and other work…

José Amador. Medicine and Nation Building in the Americas, 1890-1940
Medicine and Nation Building in the Americas is an ambitious book that links early twentieth-century public health initiatives to changing intellectual understandings of race, culture, and national identity in Brazil, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. It is an example of a recent transnational history that aims to expand our understanding of connections among policy makers, cultural institutions, and intellectual and scientific trends in different countries…

Madness in Buenos Aires: Patients, Psychiatrists, and the Argentine State, 1880-1983
In Madness in Buenos Aires, Jonathan Ablard convincingly demonstrates that Argentine psychiatric institutions were not the agents of social control that Foucauldian scholars have maintained they were in Europe and the United States. While Argentina had the most developed system of mental hospitals in Latin America, according to Ablard a weak state limited these institutions' policing and coercive functions. Buenos Aires's two main hospitals, the …
El valor de la salud: Historia de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is the oldest existing international health organization and the regional office of the World Health Organization. It speaks well of the PAHO that they asked Marcos Cueto, one of the foremost historians of medicine in Latin America, to write their official history; in doing so they got much more than a traditional institutional account. In fact, El valor de la salud not only discusses PAHO conferences, …
Entre médicos y curanderos: Cultura, historia y enfermedad en la América Latina moderna
Entre médicos y curanderos is an extremely interesting and varied collection of articles that is representative of new work in the sociocultural studies of medicine in Latin America. Armus gives a comprehensive but succinct overview of recent scholarship in the field and highlights some important themes in the collection: health issues as represented in popular culture, hygiene as a civilizing project for the poor or marginalized ethnic groups, r…
The Return of the Epidemics: Health and Society in Peru during the Twentieth Century
Marcos Cueto begins his excellent book on epidemic disease in twentieth-century Peru by examining the outbreak of bubonic plague that occurred in the early 1900s and ends it with an analysis of the cholera epidemic of 1991. These two essays clearly demonstrate both the connections between poverty and disease and the inadequacies of the Peruvian public health system. Bubonic plague, which was first diagnosed in coastal Peru in 1903, was a disease …
Hygiene and “The Indian Problem”: Ethnicity and Medicine in Bolivia, 1910–1920
In the first decades of the twentieth century, Bolivian intellectuals and politicians debated how the country's Indian population should be incorporated into social and political life as the nation became increasingly integrated internally and forged stronger links to the world market. Public health was central to this discussion because of elite fears of contagion due to greater contact between Indians and non-Indians and the realization that if…

They Eat from Their Labor: Work and Social Change in Colonial Bolivia
This study of the growth of an indigenous labour force in Upper Peru opens up areas of research in colonial history. It examines what kind of economic system resulted from the interaction between Spain's commercial exploitation of its colonies and traditional Andean patterns of social organization

Social Differentiation, Gender, and Ethnicity: Urban Indian Women in Colonial Bolivia, 1640-1725
Recently, a number of scholars have begun to piece together the economic and social history of Indian women in the Andes during the colonial period. It has not been an easy task: too often quantitative materials, such as tributary censuses, mention women only as wives and mothers and then may not provide even minimal demographic data on them. Moreover, although court and notarial records can be rich sources of information about Indian women, they…
Wages, Ore Sharing, and Peasant Agriculture: Labor in Oruro's Silver Mines, 1607-1720
ALTHOUGH a major comparative study of labor in the silver imines of colonial Mexico and Upper Perut (present-day Bolivia) has yet to be published, a number of moniographs have appeared about mining in each of these important mineral producing areas.' While not all of these works deal exclusively or extensively with the mines' workers, they have illustrated some important differences in the organization of labor in the two regions. One of these is…
