A Brief Social History of Tuberculosis delves into the history of tuberculosis and its impact on human populations.

Drawing on research and expert experiences, the three research chapters (3-5) will explore how the disease has affected communities throughout history, and how society has responded to the threat of tuberculosis over time. Tuberculosis has been a persistent and devastating force from the crowded cities of the Industrial Revolution to the present day. However, this book will argue that there is much to be learned from the successes and failures of past efforts to control the disease from a social perspective. By examining the history of tuberculosis, researchers and policymakers can gain valuable insights into the challenges of infectious disease control, as well as the social and political factors that shape our response to such challenges.

This volume will focus on generating critical discussions among scholars, researchers, and policymakers, this will be informative, engaging and will be an essential read for anyone interested in the history of medicine, public health, and the ongoing struggle against infectious diseases world-wide.
