Review
“The book’s clearly written narratives and engaging detail make it a good choice for both undergraduate and graduate courses in colonial Latin America and the history of medicine.”
—Hispanic American Historical Review
“A welcome study . . . rich in detail and a valuable addition to the field for its insight into the practice of medicine as an outworking of, and response to, the social and political realities of colonial Peru, engaging a broad academic readership with an interest in social and medical history.”
—Social History of Medicine
“Warren delves into a host of provocative topics . . . Perhaps the most intriguing of Warren’s findings is that the political reforms resulting in independence terminated or stunted the medical reforms encouraged by the colonial bureaucracy.”
—Choice
“A well-written and valuable study of public health and medical practice that will be read and discussed widely.”
—Journal of Latin American Studies
“Adam Warrenprovides a fresh look at the Bourbon period through the history of medicine, healing, and health policy in colonial Peru, and its goal of growing the colony during the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth century. It is one of the few works that examines the colonial origins of modern medical systems in Latin America.”
—Martha Few, University of Arizona
“Adam Warren uses debates over vaccinations and disease in late colonial Peru to shed light not only on ideas about the body and death but also on classic topics such as the Bourbon Reforms and trans-Atlantic ideas in the age of the Enlightenment. Moving as it does from the microbe to the macro, Medicine and Politics in Colonial Peru clears new paths about medicine and colonialism and deserves a broad audience.”
—Charles F. Walker, Director, Hemispheric Institute on the Americas, University of California, Davis
