“Mckiernan-Gonzalez . . . adds substantially to the large literature on the history of public health, particularly its role in controlling immigration into the United States.” - Stephen J. Kunitz (American Historical Review) “<i>Fevered Measures</i> is a wonderful and significant contribution to Latina/o studies, medical history, and borderlands history.” - Mark Allan Goldberg (Pacific Historical Review) “<i>Fevered Measures</i> is an engaging and multi-layered historical narrative that underscores the centrality of public health to daily life, social relations and power dynamics along the TexasMexico border over one century. . . . What makes this story particularly compelling is that Mckiernan-GonzÁlez frames it with a compassionate and informed plea for greater awareness of Latina/o health disparities.” - Alexandra Minna Stern (Global Public Health) “Mckeirnan-GonzÁlez provides a sophisticated and fine-grained analysis of the work of overzealous public health officials on the border, but he also places these efforts in a global imperial context.” - Elliott Young (Journal of American History) “<i>Fevered Measures</i> gives us a penetrating view of the intersections between race and public health policies, bringing new insights to the history of both the borderlands and US public health. It will be valuable to students and researchers in Chicano/Latino studies, in social sciences and humanities. Appealing also to a broader audience, this welcome book contributes significantly to the current debates about Latinos and American public health. . . .” - Ana I. Ugarte (Latino Studies)
