Necropolis: Disease, Power, and Capitalism in the Cotton Kingdom by Kathryn Olivarius

5.0

I found myself constantly finding yellow fever and covid parallels which was equally unsurprising and depressing. What I was surprised by was how little I knew of American slavery. This was an eye opening book that, despite it's subject matter, had an energetic pace that made it hard to put down.
