Although the Pesthouse stood out of sight and largely out of mind, it existed at a vital nexus of civic life where issues of medicine, race, class, environment, morality, and citizenship entwined and played out. Guenter B. Risse places this forgotten institution within an emotional climate dominated by widespread public dread and disgust. In this book, he analyses the unique form of stigma generated by San Franciscans.History of emotions.EpidemicsCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistoryPrejudicesCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistoryPlagueCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistorySan Francisco (Calif.)History20th centuryHistory.fastEpidemicsHistory.PrejudicesHistory.PlagueHistory.979.461Risse Guenter B.153414MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809580603321Driven by fear4057715UNINA
