Disease in the History of Modern Latin America
Challenging traditional approaches to medical history, Disease in the History of Modern Latin America advances understandings of disease as a social and cultural construction in Latin America. This innovative collection provides a vivid look at the latest research in the cultural history of medicine through insightful essays about how disease—whether it be cholera or aids, leprosy or mental illness—was experienced and managed in different Latin American countries and regions, at different times from the late nineteenth century to the present. Based on the idea that the meanings of sickness—and health—are contestable and subject to controversy, Disease in the History of Modern Latin A...
Going to School in Latin America
Latin America has tremendous diversity geographically, politically, and demographically. Some countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Chile, enjoy a time of peace and growing prosperity, while other countries such as Bolivia and Columbia are struggling with government and economic issues. This volume examines the history and present educational systems, both public and private, of approximately 15 countries in the Latin American region, along with a day in the life feature that shows what the school day is like from the students' point of view.

Alleging that we are all cultural agents, Sommer also takes herself to task and creates Pre-Texts, an international arts-literacy...
