Seeking to understand the patient?s perspective, historians scour the archives, searching for rare personal accounts. Bringing together a trove of more than 400 family letters by Charles Dwight Willard, Suffering in the Land of Sunshine provides a unique window into the experience of sickness. A Los Angeles civic leader at the turn of the twentieth century, Willard is well known to historians of the West, but exclusively for his public life as a booster and reformer. Willard?s evocative story offers fresh insights into several critical issues, including how concepts of gender, class, and race shape patients? representations of their illness, how expectations of cure affect the illness experience, how different cultures constrain the coping strategies of the sick, and why robust health is such an exalted value in certain societies. 410 0$aCritical issues in health and medicine. 606 $aTuberculosis$xPatients$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTuberculosis$xPatients 676 $a362.196/9950092 676 $aB 700 $aAbel$b Emily K$0943482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452340503321 996 $aSuffering in the land of sunshine$92455397 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01961oas 2200769 a 450 001 9910147174503321 005 20251106213014.0 011 $a1559-663X 035 $a(OCoLC)49060112 035 $a(CONSER) 2005238646 035 $a(CKB)1000000000308788 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000308788 100 $a20020222a19uu9999 sa a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurm|||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aEnglish teaching forum $eonline 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cU.S. Dept. of State 215 $a1 online resource (volumes) 311 08$a1559-663X 517 1 $aForum online 517 1 $aForum 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers$vPeriodicals 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00911692 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 615 7$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 676 $a428 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of State.$bOffice of English Language Programs. 801 0$bBKL 801 1$bBKL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIUL 801 2$bNSD 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bDOS 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bNBD 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCE 801 2$bGILDS 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910147174503321 996 $aEnglish teaching forum$9977440 997 $aUNINA
