Yi-Tang Lin presents the historical process by which statistics
became the language of global health for local and international
health organizations. Drawing on archival material from three
continents, this study investigates efforts by public health
schools, philanthropic foundations, and international organizations
to turn numbers into an international language for public health.
Lin shows how these initiatives produced an international network
of public health experts who, across various socioeconomic and
political contexts, opted for different strategies when it came to
setting global standards and translating local realities into
numbers. Focusing on China and Taiwan between 1917 and 1960, Lin
examines the reception, adaptation, and appropriation of
international health statistics. She presents the dynamic interplay
between numbers, experts, and policy-making in international health
organizations and administrations in China and Taiwan. This title
is also available as Open Access.
