March 2018<\/p>\n

From 1927 to 1942, the Rockefeller Foundation ran a tuberculosis commission in Jamaica that researched the epidemiology of the disease, examined the efficacy of a vaccine with heat-killed tubercle bacilli, and offered basic treatment to tuberculosis sufferers.<\/p>\n

The article\u00a0The black scourge? Race and the Rockefeller Foundation\u2019s tuberculosis commission in interwar Jamaica<\/a>\u00a0(dossier\u00a0Public Health Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean<\/a>\u00a0Oct-Dec 2017<\/a>) written by\u00a0Henrice\u00a0Altink (<\/span>University of York)\u00a0explores the role that race played in the tuberculosis commission.<\/p>\n

Drawing upon diaries and scientific writings by the staff employed by the commission, among other sources, this paper assesses how race shaped the research conducted by the commission, how it informed staff interactions,\u00a0and the clash of \u201cimported\u201d and local racial ideas in the commission\u2019s work.<\/div>\n
