Desperate to avert a public health crisis, city officials summoned Black southern nurses, luring them with promises of good pay, a career, and an escape from the strictures of Jim Crow. But after arriving, they found themselves on an isolated hilltop in the remote borough of Staten Island, yet again confronting racism and consigned to a woefully understaffed facility, dubbed "the pest house" where "no one left alive." Spanning the Great Depression and moving through World War II and beyond, this story follows the intrepid young women, the "Black Angels," who, for twenty years, risked their lives working under dreadful conditions while caring for the city's poorest--1,800 souls languishing in wards, waiting to die or become "guinea pigs" for experimental (often deadly) drugs. Yet despite their major role in desegregating the NYC hospital system--and regardless of their vital work in helping to find the cure for tuberculosis at Sea View-these nurses were completely erased from history. The Black Angels recovers the voices of these extraordinary women and puts them at the center of this riveting story celebrating their legacy and spirit of survival"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1751366</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1751366</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smilios, Maria]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1751366161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780593544921&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plague-busters!]]></title><description><![CDATA["This book delves into several illnesses that have infected humans and affected civilizations.

"This is a fearless, exacting, essential work, and marks the debut of a thrilling new global voice."-Peter Ho Davies, author of The Welsh Girl. On a year-long exchange program in rural Oregon, sixteen-year-old Hira must swap Kashmiri chai for volleyball practice and understand why everyone around her seems to dislike Obama. A skeptically witty narrator, Hira finds herself stuck between worlds. The experience is memorable for reasons both good and bad; a first kiss, new friends, racism, Islamophobia, homesickness. Along the way Hira starts to feel increasingly unwell until she begins coughing up blood, and receives a diagnosis of tuberculosis, pushing her into quarantine and turning her newly established home away from home upside down. American Fever is a compelling and laugh-out-loud funny novel about adolescence, family, otherness, religion, the push-and-pull of home. It marks the entrance on the international literary scene of the brilliant fresh voice of Dur e Aziz Amna"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1693070</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1693070</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aziz Amna, Dur E]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1693070161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781950994496&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Meadow Blooms]]></title><description><![CDATA["Widow Rose Meadows eagerly accepts her brother-in-law's offer for her and her two daughters to live on his farm after her treatments in a sanatorium finds them needing a home.

The President proposed that most of the spending on PEPFAR programs be concentrated in 15 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Of the $15 billion, the Plan anticipated spending $9 billion on prevention, treatment, and car services in the 15 Focus Countries, where the Administration estimated 50% of all HIV-positive people lived. The President also proposed that $5 billion of the funds be spent on existing bilateral HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria programs and research, and $1 billion of PEPFAR funds be reserved for U.S. contributions to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (Global Fund). Between FY2004 and FY2008, PEPFAR aims to have supported care fro 10 million people affected by HIV/AIDS, including children orphaned by AIDS; prevented 7 million new HIV infections; and supported efforts to provide anti-retroviral medication (ARV) to 2 million HIV-infected people. Between FY2004 and FY2007 Congress provided almost $13.4 billion to fighting the global spread of HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. Through the FY2007 Continuing Appropriation Resolution, P.L. 109-289, as amended by P.L. 110-5, Members demonstrated strong support for global HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria programs. Although most accounts were funded at the least of FY2006 enacted, FY2007 House-passed, or FY2007 Senate-passed levels, appropriators increased support for global HIV/AIDS programs by about $1.4 billion over FY2006 levels. The year-long continuing resolution appropriation provided nearly $4.8 billion to U.S. international HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria initiatives, including $724.0 million for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund -- the largest single U.S. contribution to date. The President's FY2008 budget request includes about $5.8 billion for global HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria efforts. The administration proposes that the bulk of the funds, about $5.0 billion, be provided through Foreign Operations appropriations. If Congress fully funds the President's FY2008 request, the United States will have exceeded the $15 billion originally sought for PEPFAR; some $19.2 billion would be spent on fighting the three diseases from FY2004 to FY2008.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C27968</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C27968</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Salaam-Blyther, Tiaji]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/27968161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>FY2004-FY2008</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Phantom Plague]]></title><description><![CDATA[The definitive social history of tuberculosis, from its origins as a haunting mystery to its modern reemergence that now threatens populations around the world. It killed novelist George Orwell, Eleanor Roosevelt, and millions of others -- rich and poor. Desmond Tutu, Amitabh Bachchan, and Nelson Mandela survived it, just.  For centuries, tuberculosis has ravaged cities and plagued the human body.  In  Phantom Plague, Vidya Krishnan, traces the history of tuberculosis from the slums of 19th-century New York to modern Mumbai. In a narrative spanning century, Krishnan shows how superstition and folk-remedies, made way for scientific understanding of TB, such that it was controlled and cured in the West.  The cure was never available to black and brown nations. And the tuberculosis bacillus showed a remarkable ability to adapt -- so that at the very moment it could have been extinguished as a threat to humanity, it found a way back, aided by authoritarian government, toxic kindness of philanthropists, science denialism and medical apartheid. Krishnan's original reporting paints a granular portrait of the post-antibiotic era as a new, aggressive, drug resistant strain of TB takes over. Phantom Plague is an urgent, riveting and fascinating narrative that deftly exposes the weakest links in our battle against this ancient foe.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1666532</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1666532</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Krishnan, Vidya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1666532161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Tuberculosis Shaped History</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9781541768468&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stronger Than Death]]></title><description><![CDATA["Somalia's Mother Teresa chose love over fear. Amid a volatile mix of disease, war, and religious fundamentalism in the Horn of Africa, what difference could one woman make? "I am nobody," she always insisted. Yet by the time she was killed for her work three decades later she had not only developed an effective cure for tuberculosis among nomadic peoples but also exposed a massacre, established homes and schools for the deaf, advocated against female genital mutilation, and secured treatment for ostracized AIDS patients. Months after winning the Nansen Refugee Award from the UN in 2003, Annalena Tonelli was assassinated at one of the tuberculosis hospitals she founded. Rachel Pieh Jones, an American writer, was living a few doors down, having moved to Somaliland with her husband and two children just months before. Annalena's death would alter the course of her life. No one who encounters Annalena in these pages will leave unchanged. Brought vividly back to life through Jones's meticulous reporting and her own letters, Annalena presents us with a new measure of success and commitment. But she also leaves us a gift: the secret to overcoming the fear that pervades our society and our hearts - fear of disease and death, fear of terrorism and war, fear of others, and fear of failure"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1498622</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1498622</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jones, Rachel Pieh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1498622161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Annalena Tonelli Defied Terror and Tuberculosis in the Horn of Africa</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780874862515&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Act to Extend Certain Authorities Relating to United States Efforts to Combat HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Globally, and for Other Purposes]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1603378</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C1603378</guid><category><![CDATA[WEBSITE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[United States]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1603378161</comments><format>WEBSITE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hospital]]></title><link>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C529515</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S161C529515</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bouanani, Ahmed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/529515161</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Tale in Black and White</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=SDPL33010&amp;password=CC92101&amp;Value=9780811225762&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item></channel></rss>
