Description
In 1868 nobody yet knew what caused cholera, but a state could still decide who would inspect the wells, how a market should be kept, when a house must be closed and by whose authority. This guide tells Chile's sanitary officers precisely that, in the language of a manual rather than a treatise. Its interest is that it shows public health as an administrative invention: the measures come first, the explanations follow decades later, and most of the measures turn out to have been right. A document of how the state entered daily life in nineteenth-century Latin America.
