Effluent America
With the publication of The Sanitary City (reviewed in Bull. Hist. Med., 2002, 76: 391-93), Martin Melosi established himself as this generation's leading synthesizer in urban environmental history. The result of more than ten years' effort, displaying a command of the secondary literature and an ability to assimilate masses of primary data, that monograph will stand with the work of Joel Tarr and a small number of others in the historiography of…
An American Health Dilemma. Vol. 1, A Medical History of African Americans and the Problem of Race
In the 1940s, Swedish sociologist Gunnar Myrdal coined the phrase "American dilemma" to replace what had previously been referred to as the "Negro problem." For Myrdal and his sponsors at the Carnegie Corporation, this was not mere wordplay; rather, it signified the emergence of a new liberal consensus in the United States. The social problems associated with race would no longer be seen as concerning only blacks. Booker T. Washington's notion of…
No Place Like Home
Home care is as old as human disease and the human domicile, and it bears repeating that most health care is still provided at home, largely by mothers and other female household members. In this book, Karen Buhler-Wilkerson discusses a variant that emerged in the industrialized world: organized home care provided by paid nurses from outside the home
Devices & Desires
This book merits an extended review within a longer essay, where it could be measured against other important recent works in nursing history,1 or related books in history of medicine,2 or the two great 1980s monographs on the history of the American hospital.3 In a standard scholarly review, though, there is little point in doing more than describing its contents and adding that it is a first-rate book that anyone interested in health care shoul…

No One Was Turned Away
Women and Health in America
The historical study of women and health in the United States may be said to have come of age in 1984 with the original publication of Judith Leavitt's anthology. The women's liberation movement of the late sixties and seventies had forced scholars in virtually all subdisciplines of history to acknowledge that something had been missing from their work; and certainly, as regards medical history (or, better, the history of health), a serious appro…
Black Lung
The plot line is a familiar one in the history of science--particularly of biomedicine, where beliefs about etiology, pathology, and diagnosis may have practical implications for prevention, treatment, or compensation. First, practitioners (and even patients) make a judgment rooted in case experience. Later, that initial empirical assessment is subjected to greater scientific scrutiny and proved to be inaccurate. Finally, as new research techniqu…
