This book is the first major work to explore the utility of the
border as a theoretical, methodological, and interpretive construct
for understanding colonial public health by considering African
experiences in the Zimbabwe-Mozambique borderland. It examines the
impact of colonial public health measures such as medical
examinations/inspections, vaccinations, and border surveillance on
African villagers in this borderland. The book asks whether the
conjunction of a particular colonized society, a distinctive kind
of colonialism, and a particular territorial border generated
reluctance to embrace public health because of certain colonial
circumstances which impeded the acceptance of therapeutic
alternatives that were embraced by colonized people elsewhere. It
asks historians to look elsewhere for similar kinds of histories
involving racialized application of public health policies in
colonial borderlands.
