The public health movement in the South began in the wake of a yellow fever epidemic that devastated the lower Mississippi Valley in 1878—a disaster that caused 20,000 deaths and financial losses of nearly $200 million. The full scale of the epidemic and the tentative, troubled southern response to it are for the first time fully examined by John Ellis in this new book. At the national level, southern congressional leaders fought to establish a strong federal health agency, but they were defeated by the young American Public Health Association, which defended states' rights. Local responses and results were mixed. In New Orleans, business and professional men, reacting to the denunciation of the city as the nation's pesthole, organized in 1879 to improve drainage, garbage disposal, and water supplies through voluntary subscription. Their achievements were of necessity modest. In Memphis—the city hardest hit by the epidemic—a new municipal government in 1879 helped form the first regional health organization and during the 1880s led the nation in sanitary improvements. In Atlanta, though it largely escaped the epidemic, the Constitution and some citizens called for health reform. Ironically their voices were drowned out by ritual invocation of local health mythology and by unabashed exploitation of the stigma of pestilence attached to New Orleans and Memphis. By 1890 Atlanta rivaled Charleston and Richmond for primacy in black mortality rates. That the public health movement met with only limited success Ellis attributes to the prevailing atmosphere of opportunistic greed, overwhelming debt, economic instability, and inordinate political corruption. But the effort to combat a terrifying disease not fully understood did eventually produce changes and the vastly improved health systems of today.

This volume focuses on leprosy in a country with which this 'tropical' disease is rarely associated in the professional or public mind; the United States. An important scholarly contribution where Gussow argues that academic neglect and absence of comparative studies of lepraphobia have been fuelled by default the myth that aversion to leprosy is and has been universal.

"In the nineteenth century, New Orleans was stigmatized by an extremely high mortality rate . One of the major causes of this frightening annual death roll was yellow fever. The sporadic arrival of fever caused tens of thousands of citizens to flee; while at the same time, anxious neighbors in nearby towns tracked the fever's movement. The severity of yellow fever epidemics was erratic and puzzled physicians. In some years thousands of people perished; at other times only a handful died. This ghastly phenomenon appeared in the summer and remained until late autumn and marked New Orleans as a dangerous place. For decades the laymen in New Orleans determined the first frost was the sign that the fever was quickly fading, and for that reason residents hoped and prayed for this meteorological blessing" -- back cover.

Broussard Best First Book Prize, SHEAR Winner of the Kemper and Leila Williams Prize in Louisiana History Winner of the Humanities Book of the Year Award, Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities “A brilliant book...This transformative work is a pivotal addition to the scholarship on American slavery.” —Annette Gordon-Reed “A stunning account of ‘high-risk, high-reward’ profiteering in the yellow fever–ridden Crescent City...a world in which a deadly virus altered every aspect of a brutal social system, exacerbating savage inequalities of enslavement, race, and class.” —John Fabian Witt, author of American Contagions “Olivarius’s new perspectives on yellow fever, immunocapitalism, and the politics of acclimation...will influence a generation of scholars to come on the intersections of racism, slavery, and public health.” —The Lancet In antebellum New Orleans, at the heart of America’s slave and cotton kingdoms, epidemics of yellow fever killed as many as 150,000 people. With little understanding of the origins of the illness—and meager public health infrastructure—one’s only hope if infected was to survive, providing the lucky few with a mysterious form of immunity. Repeated epidemics bolstered New Orleans’s strict racial hierarchy by introducing another hierarchy, a form of “immunocapital,” as white survivors leveraged their immunity to pursue economic and political advancement while enslaved Blacks were relegated to the most grueling labor. The question of health—who has it, who doesn’t, and why—is always in part political. Necropolis shows how powerful nineteenth-century Orleanians constructed a society that capitalized on mortal risk and benefited from the chaos that ensued.

Excerpt from The Cause and Prevention of Yellow Fever: Contained in the Report of the Sanitary Commission of New Orleans We cannot but hope that a second edition of this valuable report will be published, sufficiently extensive to afford every physician and every Board of Health in our large cities an opportunity of procuring a copy. We do not pretend to decide whether the opinions delivered in it or the principles established by it are legitimately derived, in a professional point of view; but there seems to be to us a great deal of important information, collected with much labor from a great variety of sources, which ought in some way or other to be spread before the public.

Excerpt from History of the Epidemic Yellow Fever, at New Orleans, La., In 1853 But, with deep regret, I must say, in vain have these important facts been laid before a heedless community - facts involving the progress and prosperity of our city, and our pecuniary interests in an eminent degree but above all, involving our own lives and the safety of those scarcely less dear to us than life itself. In vain have the most probable chief causes of this disease been pointed out, as well as the good results that have followed the removal of such causes in various parts of the world. In vain has this community been informed by many of its philanthropic physicians and through successive reports of its Grand Juries, that those causes are to be found in this city from one year's end to another, and perhaps to a greater extent than in any other spot upon the globe. In vain have they been referred to their Hospitals, their Orphan flsylums, and their crowded cemeteries for the indubitable evidences of sick ness and death. With stoic indifference they have viewed these appalling scenes and turned a deaf ear to the advice and entreaties' of their monitors. Engrossed with the exciting occupations and enjoyments of the winter, they cast not a thought upon the evils that may come upon them in summer. When shown by the reports from their cemeteries that the annual mortality of this city, in pro portion to population, more than doubles that of any city either in Europe or America, they either disregard the solemn truth or flatly deny it - saying there must be some mistake, and calling those who bring to light such unwelcome facts, enemies to the city and tra ducers of its fair fame.
