"The Cotton Dust Papers" is the story of the 50-year struggle for
recognition in the U.S. of this pernicious occupational disease.
The authors contend that byssinosis could have and should have been
recognized much sooner, as a great deal was known about the disease
as early as the 1930s. Using mostly primary sources, the authors
explore three instances from the 1930s to the 1960s in which
evidence suggested the existence of brown lung in the mills, yet
nothing was done. What the story of byssinosis makes clear is that
the economic and political power of private owners and managers can
hinder and shape the work of health investigators.
