Abstract
Drawing on the history of public health policies in the cities along the geographic border of Texas and Mexico, Fevered Measures: Public Health and Race at the Texas-Mexico Border, 1848-1942 illuminates how these policies were increasingly employed to police the boundaries of national identity and ethnic privilege, sometimes to the detriment of their ostensible purpose of preventing the spread of disease.
