Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Child Health in the Twentieth Century

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.
