As the 21st century continues to unfold emerging, re-emerging and newly emerging infectious diseases will become more pronounced. These infectious diseases like Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which has led to 6, 330, 802 deaths globally as of 28th June 2022, contend with other existing global health priorities such as mental health, HIV/AIDs, cancers, malaria, and monkeypox. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many countries to focus their attention and resources on tackling the disease, paying less attention to other public health issues such as the need to integrate mental health services into HIV care.

In this compelling narrative of capitalist development and revolutionary response, Jessica M. Kim reexamines the rise of Los Angeles from a small town to a global city against the backdrop of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, Gilded Age economics, and American empire. It is a far-reaching transnational history, chronicling how Los Angeles boosters transformed the borderlands through urban and imperial capitalism at the end of the nineteenth century and how the Mexican Revolution redefined those same capitalist networks into the twentieth.
