Opis

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.
