The Spanish Flu [PDF ebook] 
Narrative and Cultural Identity in Spain, 1918

الدعم

The 1918 Spanish flu epidemic is now widely recognized as the most devastating disease outbreak in recorded history. This cultural history reconstructs Spaniards’ experience of the flu and traces the emergence of various competing narratives that arose in response to bacteriology’s failure to explain and contain the disease’s spread.

His published work has appeared in the Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, Revista de Estudios Hispánicos, Decimonónica, and Ometeca. He is the co-editor of The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918–1919: Emerging Perspectives from the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas (forthcoming).
