Desde hace muchos años, las epidemias han tenido repercusiónen la vida social, cultural y política de los peruanos.Este libro nos presenta una perspectiva histórica originalde este dramático impacto y una interpretación clarade su significado durante el pasado reciente del Perú.Publicado ahora con un nuevo prólogo que discute el Covid-19,El regreso de las epidemias es un clásico que no ha perdidosu vigencia. En 1988 fue ganador del Premio Iberoamericanootorgado por el Latin American Studies Association,un reconocimiento reservado para el libro más destacadoproducido en castellano o portugués en cualquier paíslatinoamericano. El autor nos hace reflexionar, medianteuna narrativa accesible y profunda, sobre las dimensiones humanasde la salud y la enfermedad; da cuenta, asimismo, de líderes comunitarios y médicos que lucharon en la adversidad por salvar vidas y reducir las desigualdades sociales que alimentanlas epidemias. Marcos Cueto nos convence de la imperiosanecesidad de romper el círculo vicioso entre enfermedadesrecurrentes, respuestas fragmentadas e insuficientes y la pobreza. 10
