Carlos S. Dimas (History) authored a book, Poisoned Eden: Cholera Epidemics, State-Building, and the Problem of Public Health in Tucumán, Argentina, 1865-1908 through the University of Nebraska Press.
The book analyzes the social, political, and cultural effects of three cholera epidemics, in 1868, 1886, and 1895, that shook the northwestern province of Tucumán to understand the role of public health in building the Argentine state in the late 19th nineteenth century.
