After The Plague
Manage episode 295507666 series 7331
Everyone is familiar with the immediate consequences of a pandemic – sickness and death. But the long-term ramifications can be just as dramatic: a breakdown of the family and society, shifts in political power, and widespread appeals to magical thinking.
Plagues are societal disrupters. Their effects can linger long after the pathogens have gone.
Also, hear how art responded to a pandemic and how the Louisiana Purchase was made possible by an outbreak of fever in the Caribbean.
Guest:
- Frank Snowden – Professor of History and the History of Medicine at Yale University, and author of Epidemics and Society.
