Epidemics: Hate and Compassion from the Plague of Athens to AIDS
Cohn, Jr., Samuel K. (Professor of Medieval History, Professor of Medieval History, University of Glasgow)
In this study, Samuel K. Cohn, Jr. investigates thousands of descriptions of epidemics reaching back before the fifth-century-BCE Plague of Athens to the 2014 Ebola outbreak to challenge the dominant hypothesis that epidemics invariably provoke hatred, blaming of the 'other', and victimizing bearers of epidemic diseases.
