A History of the World in Six Plagues
Edna Bonhomme
£25.00
In this groundbreaking work, Edna Bonhomme explores how six pivotal diseases – Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola, and COVID-19 – have shaped the trajectory of human history. With vivid storytelling and rigorous research, she reveals how pandemics have consistently widened the gaps in racial, economic, and sociopolitical divides, from the slave ships of the Atlantic to today’s fractured healthcare systems.
