Silent Travelers cover

This non-fiction paperback, "Silent Travelers" from Alan M Kraut, was published 1st March 1995 by Johns Hopkins University Press.

Fascinating... Kraut's narrative shows that it has always been easier to blame immigrants for epidemics than to attack the infrastructure of the disease. New York Times "Kraut chronicles the medical assimilation of immigrants through a series of public health and curative initiatives... For those interested in the public and private response to immigrant health problems, this book is a great read. Annals of Internal Medicine
