BOOK - Medicine that Walks, Disease, Medicine and the Canadian Plains Native
People, 1880-1940.
By: M. K. Lux. Medicine that Walks provides a grim social history of medicine from the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th Century. It traces the relationship between the ill and the well from the 1880's when Aboriginal people were perceived as a vanishing race doomed to extinction, to the 1940's when they came to be seen as a disease menace to the Canadian public. The native people lived and coped with a cruel set of circumstances, but the survived, in large part, because they consistently demanded a role in their own health and recovery. This work will change or perception of a significant era in Western Canada History. 300 pgs/index/b & w photos/softcover ISBN 0-8020-8295-5
