- Summary:
- This history of a newly independent Cuba shaking off the US occupation focuses on the intersection of public health and politics in Havana. While medical policies were often used to further American colonial power, in Cuba they evolved into important expressions of anticolonial nationalism as Cuba struggled to establish itself as a modern state.
