Modern Colonization by Medical Intervention adds to our
understanding of the political and economic transformations
establishing colonial modernity in Puerto Rico. By focusing on
influential physicians' clinical work and their access to a remote
and inaccessible rural population, this volume details how rural
areas suffered the ravages of social dislocation, unemployment and
hunger. The colonial administration's hookworm campaign involved
many Puerto Rican physicians in complex struggles with other
elites, rural peasants and U.S. colonial administrators for
political legitimacy. Puerto Rican physicians did not gain the
professional autonomy their counterparts in the United States
enjoyed. Instead, they became centrally implicated in the struggle
between labor and capital enforcing the island's subordination to a
colonial modernity and the development of capitalism on the island.
