About This Book

"Well-researched and theoretically informed study of origins and application of the 'ideology of hygiene' in turn-of-the-century Rio de Janeiro. Gives particular attention to effects of destruction of slums (seen as centers of yellow fever infection) and to 19th-century development of popular resistance to small pox vaccination"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
