While I think Wray's book does offer a unique perspective on the interactions between health and class, he did present several historical inaccuracies that concerned me. For one, he calls Wickliffe Rose, the renowned RSC public health leader, Wycliffe Rose. Wray also confuses/distorts some of the information regarding Black Southerners and hookworm. He asserts that Stiles set a precedent of ignoring Black Southerners in hookworm trials because Stiles was a white Southerner, when in fact, Charles Stiles was a New Yorker! Furthermore, in most historiography regarding the RSC, Stiles was considered incredibly subversive and uncaring of politics to the point of fault. I think there is a really interesting and understudied dynamic regarding Black Southerners and hookworm, with lots of conflicting scholarship. Wray, in an attempt to simplify this complicated relationship, presented numerous historical misrepresentations that, in many ways, lessened the impact of his work.
