Omschrijving
Science has been one of the most powerful tools for
the development of modern nations. However, since it
has had a differential evolution in different
cultures, its forms of transmission defined the ways
in wich it was implanted in different societies. This
book explores, through the Mexican example, the
first attempt to embody modern microbiology by a
Latin American country. It shows how a combination
of political, economic and personal interests
sometimes came to overshadow the process. The
demonised Porfirio Diaz (president of Mexico 1880-
1911) and his political circle played a critical
role in this process. Dictatorship, Revolution,
personal animosities and scientific naivety became
important features of the game, to the advantage of
European countries (principally Great Britain,
France and Germany) which always found ways to
preserve their supremacy over 'the others', that is
those other trying to be 'modern like the
Europeans'. This work is addresed to historians and
sociologists of science, historians of Latin
America, and every person interested in cultural
colonialism, the transmission of knowledge, and the
history of Mexico.
