Leprosy, Racism, And Public Health: Social Policy In Chronic Disease Control (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367152796)

This volume focuses on leprosy in a country with which this 'tropical' disease is rarely associated in the professional or public mind; the United States. An important scholarly contribution where Gussow argues that academic neglect and absence of comparative studies of lepraphobia have been fuelled by default the myth that aversion to leprosy is and has been universal.
