With the publication of Unequal Cures: Public Health and Political Change in Bolivia, 1900-1950, Ann Zulawski has provided an important study of the problems of disease and the politics of public health, race, and gender in Bolivia. Her work is a vital contribution to the new literature on the history of medicine and public health in Latin America in part because of its originality. Unequal Cures is the first major historical study of Bolivian public health to be published in English. Zulawski, moreover, draws from archival sources few have touched in the development of this project, doing much of the basic groundwork for the Bolivian case study that scholars of other, more heavily “studied” regions have been able to take for granted in developing their own scholarship.
