About the book

The 'preventorium', an institution designed to protect children from tuberculosis, emerged in the USA during the Progressive era. In this book, Cynthia Connolly explores how the institution reflected assumptions about class, race and ethnicity, and explains that its effects live on today in child health care and family policy.
