How Cancer Crossed the Color Line
Wailoo, Keith (Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs, Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs, Princeton University)
Examining one hundred years in the public campaign against cancer, this path-breaking study of scientific, medical, and epidemiological writings and of cinematic and literary representations of disease, reveals how experts and the lay public saw cancer's demographic shifts - from a stereotypical white female disease to equal opportunity killer - as a message about women, men, race and the changing color line.
