Diego Armus, editor. Disease in the History of Modern Latin America: From Malaria to AIDS. Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press. 2003. Pp. viii, 326. Cloth $64.95, paper $21.95.

This new collection, edited by Diego Armus, contains essays by members of a new generation of scholars from Latin America and the United States who specialize in the history of disease. Taken in conjunction with Armus's collection Entre médicos y curanderos: Cultura, historia y enfermedad en América Latina moderna (2002), with which there is some overlap in approach and content, the book makes a significant contribution to the subject.
