Medicine on the Periphery examines the history of the public health
of Yucatan, Mexico, from the 1870s through 1960. This book includes
chapters on institutions, healers, changing patterns of disease,
the biomedicalization of Yucatan, and the relationship between
Yucatan and the Mexican Revolutionary government. Sowell analyzes
Yucatec officials' establishment of public health programs as a
strategy for the modernization of the region, using wealth from the
production of henequen to create Mexico's most extensive public
health system and subsequent tensions with the Revolutionary
government. Public health programs situated the Yucatan into a
complex position in the nexus of knowledge, power, and technologies
of the Atlantic medical community. Medicine on the Periphery
provides a comprehensive look at how Yucatan became a medical
periphery, a status that made it increasingly dependent upon
knowledge and technologies produced in the productive core of the
North Atlantic and subject to the authority of the Mexican state.
This book will be of interest to scholars in Mexican studies,
history of medicine and public health in Latin America and in the
Atlantic world.
