Sinopsis

Plague History explores the profound ways infectious diseases have shaped human civilization. It delves into major pandemics like the Plague of Justinian, the Black Death, and the Spanish Flu, revealing their biological realities and their far-reaching impacts on society, culture, and scientific progress. For instance, the Black Death decimated Europe's population, leading to significant social and economic shifts. Understanding these historical outbreaks offers valuable insights into current global health challenges, bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and historical context for a general audience.

The book examines the fundamental concepts of epidemiology, microbiology, and historical analysis, making complex information accessible. Each plague is analyzed in detail, from its origins and spread to its symptoms and societal effects and how medical and governmental institutions responded, using primary documents, medical treatises, and archaeological findings. By examining these past pandemics, such as how ineffective some folk remedies were, Plague History demonstrates that infectious diseases are powerful agents of historical change that alter economic systems and cultural beliefs.

The book progresses chronologically, beginning with an introduction to infectious diseases and historical analysis before exploring each major plague. It concludes with a discussion of lessons learned and their relevance to contemporary global health, addressing ongoing debates about the origins and impact of these devastating outbreaks and offering a balanced perspective.

Tales My Grandmother Told Me

Fred Spruell A.K.A erick Rule

This story grew out of an extended family system in rural Mississippi in the early 1940s. This occurred at a time when many black families were immigrating North. A young African American boy of age 18 months had the misfortune of being caught in the middle of squabble between his two parents who were desperately trying to escape the rigor of Southern plantation living that they were in. Finally, his mother was told by his father in no uncertain terms to just bring the girls to Detroit and leave the boys behind with their grandmother. This put such a strain on this young child that even after he had been potty trained, he eventually had to be put back in diapers.

Journal of a Black Queer Nurse

Britney Daniels

In this searing, honest memoir, a Black queer emergency-room nurse works the front lines of care during COVID-19. 
 
 
 
Britney Daniels is a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian from a working-class background. For the last five years, she has been working as an emergency-room nurse. She began Journal of a Black Queer Nurse as a personal diary, a tool to heal from the day-to-day traumas of seeing too much and caring too much. 
 
 
 
Hilarious, gut-wrenching, and infuriating by turns, these stories are told from the perspective of a deeply empathetic, no-nonsense young nurse, who highlights the way race, inequality, and a profit-driven healthcare system make the hospital a place where systemic racism is lived. 
 
 
 
Whether it is giving one's own clothes to a homeless patient, sticking up for patients of color in the face of indifference from white doctors and nurses, or nursing one's own back pain accrued from transporting too many bodies, Journal of a Black Queer Nurse reveals the ways in which care is much more than treating a physical body and how the commitment to real care—care that involves listening to and understanding patients in a deeper sense—demands nurses, especially nurses of color, must also be warriors.
