"In Plague, Fear, and Politics in San Francisco's Chinatown, Guenter Risse presents a thoroughly researched, nuanced analysis of events surrounding the outbreak of bubonic plague in San Francisco from 1900 to… 1904. While much has been written about this epidemic. Risse's book is a significant addition to scholarship in this area. It places the epidemic in a broader context, and it adds a unique perspective that focuses on the effects on the residents of Chinatown of the plague and the public health response to it. This book is more than merely the story of one plague epidemic. It is also a good source for the history of the Chinese immigrant experience in American, early twentieth-century San Francisco politics, and California history. Scholars in variety of disciplines will find much of interest and avenues for further exploration in Risse's important book." - Lisa A. Mix, Journal of the History of Medicine.

Very Good in Dustjacket. 9781421405100. 18 halftones, 1 line drawing. March 2012. hardcover. keywords: Medical History. DESCRIPTION - When health offic…ials in San Francisco discovered bubonic plague in their city's Chinatown in 1900, they responded with intrusive, controlling, and arbitrary measures that touched off a sociocultural conflict still relevant today. Guenter B. Risse's history of an epidemic is the first to incorporate the voices of those living in Chinatown at the time, including the desperately ill Wong Chut King, believed to be the first person infected. Lasting until 1904, the plague in San Francisco's Chinatown reignited racial prejudices, renewed efforts to remove the Chinese from their district, and created new tensions among local, state, and federal public health officials quarreling over the presence of the deadly disease. Risse's rich, nuanced narrative of the event draws from a variety of sources, including Chinese-language reports and accounts. He addresses the ecology of Chinatown, the approaches taken by Chinese and Western medical practitioners, and the effects of quarantine plans on Chinatown and its residents. Risse explains how plague threatened California's agricultural economy and San Francisco's leading commercial role with Asia, discusses why it brought on a wave of fear mongering that drove perceptions and intervention efforts, and describes how Chinese residents organized and successfully opposed government quarantines and evacuation plans in federal court. By probing public health interventions in the setting of one of the most visible ethnic communities in United States history, Plague, Fear, and Politics in San Francisco's Chinatown offers insight into the clash of Eastern and Western cultures in a time of medical emergency. inventory #44084.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing of Guenter B. Risse's substantial and highly regarded history of the hospital as a medical, religious, social, and scientific institution. Rather than treating hospitals simply as buildings in which medicine happens, Risse ex…amines how their purposes and meanings have changed across more than two millennia. The narrative begins with healing institutions of the ancient world and follows the development of Christian hospices and infirmaries, plague and leprosy hospitals, Enlightenment medical institutions, the rise of clinical teaching, anesthesia and antisepsis, the modern general hospital, academic medical centers, transplantation, and the AIDS era. Drawing upon the experiences of patients as well as physicians and caregivers, Risse explores hospitals as places of charity, confinement, medical experimentation, professional education, technological innovation, suffering, recovery, birth, and death. A major one-volume study in the history of medicine and institutional health care. xx, 716 pages, illustrated, with extensive bibliographical references and index. Edition Identification Copyright 1999 by Oxford University Press. Complete number line 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1, confirming this copy as the first printing of the first edition. Condition Fine hardcover in a Very Good dust jacket. Book itself is clean, firm, and well preserved. Boards and spine show minimal wear. Binding is tight and square. Interior pages are clean and bright, with no writing, highlighting, or other significant markings observed. Original dust jacket is bright and substantially clean with mild shelf rubbing and handling wear. Light creasing and wear are present along the upper edge and at the spine ends and corners, with a few minor surface marks. No substantial tears or losses visible. Overall a particularly attractive first-printing copy. Please see photographs for complete condition details. Significance / Collector Appeal Risse's Mending Bodies, Saving Souls has become an important modern synthesis of hospital history. It examines the hospital not merely as a site of medical treatment but as an institution shaped by changing ideas about charity, religion, social control, professional medicine, technology, and patient care. Its broad chronological scope—from ancient healing institutions through the emergence of twentieth-century academic medical centers and the AIDS crisis—makes it especially useful for collections in the history of medicine, hospitals and health care, medical sociology, public health, nursing history, and institutional history. Shipping / Returns: Carefully packed for shipment. Domestic shipping via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise requested. Expedited and international shipping available where permitted. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks policies. SCI 3b.
