Stories in the Time of Cholera: Racial Profiling during a Medical Nightmare
Charles L. Briggs
Documenting how stigma, stories, and statistics circulate across borders, this ethnography demonstrates that the process undermines all the efforts of physicians and public health officials and at the same time contributes catastrophically to epidemics not only of cholera but also of tuberculosis, malaria, AIDS, and other killers.
