American Evangelists and Tuberculosis in Modern Japan

內容簡介:Tuberculosis ran rampant in Japan during the late Meiji and Taisho years. Many of the victims of the then incurable disease were young female workers from the rural areas. The Japanese government of the time, however, seemed unprepared to tackle the epidemic. Perelman argues that pragmatism and utilitarianism dominated the thinking of the administration, which saw little point in providing health services to a group of politically insignificant patients.
