After the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in 1876, publicists launched a campaign to portray the city as the promised land, circulating countless stories of miraculous cures for the sick and debilitated. As more and more migrants poured in, however, a gap emerged between the city?s glittering image and its dark reality. Emily K. Abel shows how the association of the disease with ?tramps? during the 1880's and 1890's and Dust Bowl refugees during the 1930's provoked exclusionary measures against both groups. In addition, public health officials sought not only to restrict the entry of Mexicans (the majority of immigrants) during the 1920's but also to expel them during the 1930's. Abel?s revealing account provides a critical lens through which to view both the contemporary debate about immigration and the U.S. response to the emergent global tuberculosis epidemic. 410 0$aCritical issues in health and medicine. 606 $aTuberculosis$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTuberculosis$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$xDiseases$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aImmigrants$xDiseases$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$xMedical care$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aImmigrants$xMedical care$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDiscrimination in medical care$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aDiscrimination in medical care$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic health$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPublic health$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aTuberculosis$xHistory 615 0$aTuberculosis$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xDiseases$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xDiseases$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xMedical care$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xMedical care$xHistory 615 0$aDiscrimination in medical care$xHistory 615 0$aDiscrimination in medical care$xHistory 615 0$aPublic health$xHistory 615 0$aPublic health$xHistory 676 $a616.9/9500979494 700 $aAbel$b Emily K$0943482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781829403321 996 $aTuberculosis and the politics of exclusion$93683434 997 $aUNINA
