Jeffrey Lesser employs a range of sources and methods to analyze the fraught interactions between the Bom Retiro community and the state agencies and health professionals that oversaw community sanitation efforts from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Lesser is particularly interested in the story told by the infrastructural history of Bom Retiro and pays close attention to the construction of hospitals and health clinics, employing the metaphor of "residue" to convey the historical, ideological, and social legacies that structure daily life, spatial configurations, and health outcomes in the neighborhood"--Provided by publisher.Public healthBrazilSão PauloEnvironmental healthBrazilSão PauloSocial classesHealth aspectsBrazilSão PauloImmigrantsHealth and hygieneBrazilSão PauloBom Retiro (São Paulo, Brazil)Social conditionsBom Retiro (São Paulo, Brazil)Emigration and immigrationHealth aspectsPublic healthEnvironmental healthSocial classesHealth aspectsImmigrantsHealth and hygiene362.10981/61Lesser Jeff700863BOOK9910987793103321Living and dying in São Paulo4341302UNINA
