Cover of Cynthia Comacchio & Janet Golden: Healing the World's Children (PDF)

Essays range from historical overviews and historiographic surveys of children’s health in various regions of the world, to disability and affliction narratives – from polio in North American to AIDS orphans in post-Apartheid South Africa – to interpretations of artistic renderings of sick children that tell us much about medicine, family, and society at specific times in history.
