Based on author's thesis.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Pathologies of madness in the Porfiriato -- Infectious parenthood and child welfare during the first Francoism -- Medical practice during the last Argentinian dictatorship -- Confinement and HIV/AIDS in Cuba's special period -- Literature, medicine, and authoritarian power: a recapitulation.
"This book offers a substantial examination of how contemporary authors deal with the complex legacies of authoritarian regimes in various Spanish-speaking countries. It does so by focusing on works that explore an under-studied aspect: the reliance of authoritarian power on medical notions for political purposes"--
Gift of James R. Moog and Mary Moog, in honor of Dr. Joseph Schraibman.
