Further Reading

I read a lot of books and articles for this project, so many in fact that all of them were not able to make it into my final work. For this page I am focusing on books that I truly believe would be a good place to start for understanding the history and continuation of medical imperialism, as well as different medical practices in Latin America. Some of these were referenced throughout this blog while others simply informed my perspectives. All of these books are available at the Honnold-Mudd library in Claremont California.
