Warwick Anderson is a leading historian of science and race from Australia. He has published\u00a0several books, among them\u00a0The Collectors of Lost Souls<\/a>, that traces the story of kuru, a fatal brain disease that affected\u00a0people in the isolated highlands of colonial New Guinea during the 1940s and 1950s. See his testimony about HCS-Manguinhos and relates articles:<\/p>\n “I remember being startled by the title:\u00a0Hist\u00f3ria, Ci\u00eancias, Sa\u00fade\u2014Manguinhos<\/i>. Some twenty-five years ago, it was both pertinent and prescient to add\u00a0Manguinhos<\/i>\u00a0to the conventional amalgam, as a kind of Derridean supplement revealing what was already inscribed in, even predicating, the preceding abstractions.<\/p>\n Thus from the start,\u00a0Manguinhos<\/i>\u00a0would strive to situate the life sciences in the multiply reticulated \u201clittle mangroves\u201d of the Global South. In the very first issue in 1994, editor Sergio Goes de Paula noted the \u201cunmistakably vernacular\u201d title, almost untranslatable, which broadcast the journal\u2019s \u201cindigenous character\u201d and commitment to an unconventionally eclectic and inclusive format. And so, for twenty-five years,\u00a0Manguinhos<\/i>\u00a0has inspired those of us across the southern hemisphere who hope to free histories of science from their European and North American moorings and maneuver them into our ownlittle mangroves\u2014into the anchorages, or the places, that matter to us.”<\/p>\n Anderson, Warwick, Cueto, Marcos and Santos, Ricardo Ventura.\u00a0\u00a0Applying a southern solvent: an interview with Warwick Anderson<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0Hist. cienc. saude-Manguinhos<\/i>, Dec 2016, vol.23, suppl.1, p.213-226.
