Recenzii

"Race, Place, and Medicine makes an important contribution to a number of fields by using medical history as a portal to a broader discussion of Brazilian national identity." Jeffrey Lesser, author of Negotiating National Identity: Immigrants, Minorities, and the Struggle for Ethnicity in Brazil "A very impressive and original study that is a welcome addition to what is currently a rather slim literature on the history of medicine and public health in Latin America."- Barbara Weinstein, author of For Social Peace in Brazil "In a carefully crafted and well-researched study Julyan Peard reveals the historical significance of a group of doctors in Salvador da Bahia who became known posthumously as the 'Bahian Tropicalista School of Medicine.' ... this excellent monograph has greatly assisted our knowledge and understanding not only of Brazilian history at the close of the imperial period but also the medical history of modern Latin America."--Social History of Medicine
