Multiplying and dividing: tuberculosis in Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand

Abstract

This is an edited volume. Part 1, comprising six articles, addresses dimensions of contemporary public health approaches to TB, Part 2, comprising five articles, analyses historical policies that contributed to disproportionately high levels of TB among indigenous people in both nations, and Part 3, five articles, presents experiencenear accounts of individuals, families and communities coping with TB in daily life. The individual studies speak to the power of ethnography and ethnohistory in analysing infectious disease and the societies in which it exists.
