Yet in 1992-93, some five hundred people died from cholera in the Orinoco Delta of eastern Venezuela. In some communities, a third of the adults died in a single night, as anthropologist Charles Briggs and Clara Mantini-Briggs, a Venezuelan public health physician, reveal in their frontline report. Why, they ask in this moving and thought-provoking account, did so many die near the end of the twentieth century from a bacterial infection associated with the premodern past?It was evident that the number of deaths resulted not only from inadequacies in medical services but also from the failure of public health officials to inform residents that cholera was likely to arrive. Less evident were the ways that scientists, officials, and politicians connected representations of infectious diseases with images of social inequality. In Venezuela, cholera was racialized as officials used anthropological notions of "culture" in deflecting blame away from their institutions and onto the victims themselves. The disease, the space of the Orinoco Delta, and the "indigenous ethnic group" who suffered cholera all came to seem somehow synonymous. One of the major threats to people's health worldwide is this deadly cycle of passing the blame. Carefully documenting how stigma, stories, and statistics circulate across borders, this first-rate ethnography demonstrates that the process undermines all the efforts of physicians and public health officials and at the same time contributes catastrophically to epidemics not only of cholera but also of tuberculosis, malaria, AIDS, and other killers. The authors have harnessed their own outrage over what took place during the epidemic and its aftermath in order to make clear the political and human stakes involved in the circulation of narratives, resources, and germs. 606 $aCholera$zVenezuela$xEpidemiology 606 $aCholera$xSocial aspects$zVenezuela 610 $a1990s. 610 $a20th century. 610 $aaids. 610 $aanthropologists. 610 $abacterial infection. 610 $acholera. 610 $acultural anthropology. 610 $acultural perspective. 610 $adiseases. 610 $aepidemics. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $ahealth threats. 610 $ainfectious diseases. 610 $amalaria. 610 $amedical community. 610 $amedical services. 610 $aorinoco delta. 610 $aphysicians. 610 $apublic health officials. 610 $aracial prejudices. 610 $aracial profiling. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asocial impact. 610 $asocial inequality. 610 $asocial stigma. 610 $athought provoking. 610 $atuberculosis. 610 $avenezuela. 610 $avictim blame. 615 0$aCholera$xEpidemiology. 615 0$aCholera$xSocial aspects 676 $a614.5/14/0987 700 $aBriggs$b Charles L.$f1953-$0280717 701 $aMantini-Briggs$b Clara$f1956-$01019993 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782918503321 996 $aStories in the time of cholera$92408297 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01012nam0 22002651i 450 001 UON00490592 005 20231205105329.894 100 $a20181004d1975 |0itac50 ba 101 $arus 102 $aRU 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $a?izn' i poezija ?ukovskogo$fI.
