Abstract
In July of 1951 George Foster published a mimeographed report based on the work carried on by the four anthropologists of the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution. (The report, entitled "A Cross-Cultural Anthropological Analysis of a Technical Aid Program," was translated into Spanish and issued by the National Indian Institute of Mexico in 1952, and an article-length summary of it appeared in the same year in the Boletin de la Oficina Sanitaria Panamericana, a journal which is distributed through all the countries of the Western hemisphere.) The report consisted of an analysis of the work of the Servicios of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs in certain phases of their work in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. The study, as its title indicates, was an attempt to analyze in anthropological terms the efforts of public health personnel to introduce through their regular programs measures of hygiene and sanitation to the populations of selected regions of Latin America.
