This is a cultural history of borders, hygiene and race. It is
about foreign bodies, from Victorian Vaccines to the pathologized
interwar immigrant, from smallpox quarantine to the leper colony,
from sexual hygiene to national hygiene to imperial hygiene. Taking
British colonialism and White Australia as case studies, the book
examines public health as spatialized biopolitical governance
between 1850 and 1950. Colonial management of race dovetailed with
public health into new boundaries of rule, into racialised cordons
sanitaires .
