From the rear cover
"This meticulous study of Bolivia, one of the poorest countries in Latin America, shows why doctors and public health officials were unequal to the task of improving the health of the majority of its citizens in the first half of the twentieth century. Using the tools of social and medical history to great effect, Ann Zulawski demonstrates that the divisions of ethnicity separating the small white elite from the mass of the Indian population meant that the gap between the rhetoric of biomedical improvement and the reality of Indian ill health remained huge, even in the more progressive 1940s and 1950s. A sad and important contribution to the field."--Nancy Leys Stepan, Professor of History, Columbia University
