Synopsis:
This book offers a new evaluation of the role played by medical writing during the formative years of colonial Latin America. It focuses on a group of physicians and surgeons living in sixteenth century Mexico whose texts enlisted emerging science to articulate ideas on race, sexual difference and regional identity.
