Fecha de publicación: | 2020 | Editor: | University of Texas | Citación: | Out of the Shadow. Revisiting the Revolution from Post-Peace Guatemala Part III Chap. 7: 176-197 (2020) | Resumen: | This essay addresses the disruption in the historical memorialization of Juan José Arévalo caused by the 2010 revelations about the secret U.S. Public Health Service-led “syphilis” experiments in Guatemala, 1946-1948, by retracing the inter-American campaigns in Guatemala against another disease, lost in historical memory, onchocerciasis. Arévalo set public health on his modernist agenda, and deployed the era’s progressive rhetoric, colored (or confused) by his own “spiritual socialism,” --and instrumental disregard for that rhetoric to achieve what he could. He also drew on long-standing inter-American networks coordinated by U.S. officials, academic, medical, indigenista and philanthropic actors that intertwined with military, commercial and other security interests. The work on onchocerciasis, in particular, created U.S.-Guatemalan collegialities, reciprocities, dependencies and international biomedical prestige for Guatemala, which directly and indirectly informed the handling of the STD human experimentation. Our research shows how, in a complex, fast-moving public health context, arévalista aspirations overlapped with the promise of the postwar era (including major wartime medical advances such as eradicating typhus), the security pressures of the incipient Cold War, re-racializings of but also anti-racist challenges to prewar positivisms, blame and assimilation policies concerning negros, indígenas and blancos | Versión del editor: | https://utpress.utexas.edu/books/gibbings-vrana-out-of-the-shadow | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/235154 | ISBN: | 978-1-4773-2085-3 |
