商品簡介
Imperial Contagions argues there was no straightforward shift from older, enclavist models of colonial medicine to newer pursuits of prevention and treatment among indigenous populations and European residents. This volume shows that colonial medicine was not at all homogeneous "on the ground" but was riven with tensions and contradictions. It challenges the long-standing belief that colonial regimes uniformly regulated indigenous bodies and that colonial medicine served as a "tool of empire."
