- Summary:
- This book explores the social construction of venereal diseases as a public issue in Argentina between 1900 and 1960. It examines the intersection between biology and society, reflecting how sexually transmitted diseases were perceived and treated as a threat to public health. The author analyzes how government policies, medical advances, and social stigmas intertwined to shape the understanding of these diseases, with particular attention to the role of sexual behavior, public health policies, and the exclusion of affected individuals from citizenship. The book draws on historical and medical sources to reveal the broad societal impact of venereal diseases in shaping public policy and social order.
