1/12 - In our book, The Mask, we show 58 striking images. Remember those depictions of plague doctors wearing a beaked mask? Such visual elements were common in the 17th C and were always satirical. Here is one by F. Bertelli, from Il Carnevale Italiano…1642 (The Met, NY). tinyurl.com/uvzjs9py

Lu Chen gives a paper on the expansion of vaccine programs in China in the second half of the 20th C arguing that health decision making shifted from the clinical gaze to the economic gaze.

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」 -魯迅，故鄉 #everynightapoem

For Zohran,
You teach us how to engage the world in difficult times. May you inspire many and blaze a trail!
It’s like a path across the land—it’s not there to begin with, but when lots of people go the same way, it comes into being.
—Lu Hsun, “Hometown”

From the dedication page of Mamdani, Mahmood, "Neither Settler nor Native : The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities," Harvard University Press, 2020
