Over the last century, identity as an avenue of inquiry has become
both an academic growth industry and a problematic category of
historical analysis. This volume shows how the study of medicine
can provide new insights into colonial identity, and the
possibility of accommodating multiple perspectives on identity
within a single narrative. Contributors to this volume explore the
perceived self-identity of colonizers; the adoption of western and
traditional medicine as complementary aspects of a new, modern and
nationalist identity; the creation of a modern identity for women
in the colonies; and the expression of a healer's identity by
physicians of traditional medicine.
