Cow Killers and Informal Empire: U.S. Perspectives on Foot-and-Mouth Disease Eradication in Mexico, 1947-1955. (360G-Wellcome-102260_Z_13_Z)
The grant will fund a trip to consult official records of the Mexico-U.S. Commission for the Eradication of Foot-and-Mouth Disease, 1946-1955. These are held in 70 file boxes in the National Archive and Records Administration, Maryland. It will also pay for copying a small number of related documents in the Truman Memorial Library. This research will result in the completion of an article in January 2014 analyzing how U.S. politics and culture shaped the campaign, focusing on cattle-ranching int erests and U.S. attitudes to science, state power, rural Mexico, and the Cold War. This research will also allow me to gather materials for a larger monograph-length project that I am currently developing.
