Comparing the development of disease control in Britain and the United States, from the 1793 yellow fever outbreak in Philadelphia to the H1N1 panics of more recent times, Diseased States provides a blueprint for managing pandemics in the twenty-first century. To understand why these two nations have handled contemporary disease threats in such different ways, Charles Allan McCoy examines when and how disease control measures were adopted in each country from the nineteenth century onward, which medical theory of disease was dominant at the time, and where disease control was located within the state apparatus. Particular starting conditions put Britain and the United States on distinct trajectories of institutionalization that led to their respective systems of disease control. As McCoy shows, even the seemingly objective matter of contagion is deeply enmeshed in social and political realities, and by developing unique systems of biopower to control the spread of disease, Britain and the United States have established different approaches of exerting political control over citizens' lives and bodies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Epidemics $z Great Britain $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Epidemics $z United States $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Medical policy $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Medical policy $z United States $x History. 650 12 $a Communicable Disease Control $x history. 650 12 $a History, Modern 1601-. 650 22 $a Epidemics $x prevention & control. 650 22 $a Health Policy $x history. 651 2 $a United States. 651 2 $a United Kingdom. 650 7 $a Communicable diseases. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869883 650 7 $a Epidemics $x Prevention. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914085 650 7 $a Medical policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014505 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015744.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05C4DF9A9F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
