La historiografía médica reciente es principalmente urbana. La salud en el medio rural ofrece nuevas perspectivas que incluyen los procesos de interacción entre salud, cultura y medicina en el marco comparado europeo. Health and Medicine in Rural Europe refleja el esfuerzo combinado de grupos de investigación de Noruega, Inglaterra y España. La primera parte del libro incluye seis capítulos que combinan un acercamiento global a “lo rural” en el contexto europeo con estudios regionales específicos. Analizan también las políticas sanitarias en la España rural, el sistema zemstvo en el norte de la Rusia europea o las diferentes percepciones entre poblaciones rurales y urbanas y su transformación en Noruega. La Conferencia Europea de Higiene Rural celebrada en Ginebra en 1931 y las repercusiones sobre la administración sanitaria española dan paso a una reflexión sobre las interacciones entre medicina y culturas locales en España, Noruega y la Rusia europea. La segunda parte se ocupa de la salud rural y la práctica médica: la labor de los médicos generales en los hospitales y servicios de salud de la región inglesa; la función de los médicos rurales en la sociedad valenciana y en la región de Baviera, o las estrategias de lucha contra las enfermedades infecciosas en la Valencia rural. Los dos capítulos siguientes están consagrados al paludismo en las granjas de East Anglia y a las campañas de desarrolladas en Alicante durante el primer tercio del siglo XX. La parte final se refiere a aspectos institucionales: la labor de la Acadèmia d’Higiene de Catalunya; las redes asistenciales en la Mallorca rural, los primeros hospitales infantiles en Inglaterra o la labor realizada por la Gota de Leche en Alicante.

Research into public health policies and expert instruction has been oriented traditionally in the national context. There is a rich historiography that analyses the development of health policies and systems in various European and American countries during the first decades of the twentieth century. What is often ignored, however, is the study of the great many connections and circulations of knowledge, people, technologies, artefacts and practices during that period between countries. This book redresses that balance.

Despite the repression, violence, and social hardship which characterised Spanish life in the 1940s and 1950s, the Franco regime sought to win popular support by promoting its apparent commitment to social justice. This study tells the story of the experts in public health, medicine, and social insurance sent to sell Franco's regime overseas.

Health and development require one another: there can be no development without a critical mass of people who are sufficiently healthy to do whatever it takes for development to occur, and people cannot be healthy without societal developments that enable standards of health to be maintained or improved. However, the ways in which health and development interact are complex and contested. This volume unites eleven case studies from nine countries in three continents and two international organizations since the late-nineteenth century. Collectively, they show how different actors have struggled to reconcile the sometimes contradictory nature of health and development policies, and the subordination of these policies to a range of political objectives.

At the core of this book are three central contentions: That medical welfare became the totemic function of the Old Poor Law in its last few decades; that the poor themselves were able to negotiate this medical welfare rather than simply being subject to it; and that being doctored and institutionalised became part of the norm for the sick poor by the 1820s, in a way that had not been the case in the 1750s. Exploring the lives and medical experiences of the poor largely in their own words, Sickness, medical welfare and the English poor offers a comprehensive reinterpretation of the so-called crisis of the Old Poor Law from the later eighteenth century. The sick poor became an insistent presence in the lives of officials and parishes and the (largely positive) way that communities responded to their dire needs must cause us to rethink the role and character of the poor law.
