Mediterranean quarantines investigates how quarantine, the
centuries-old practice of collective defence against epidemics,
experienced significant transformations from the eighteenth century
in the Mediterranean Sea, its original birthplace. The new
epidemics of cholera and the development of bacteriology and
hygiene, European colonial expansion, the intensification of
commercial interchanges, the technological revolution in maritime
and land transportation and the modernisation policies in Islamic
countries were among the main factors behind such transformations.
The book focuses on case studies on the European and Islamic shores
of the Mediterranean showing the multidimensional nature of
quarantine, the intimate links that sanitary administrations and
institutions had with the territorial organisation of states,
international trade, political regimes and the construction of
national, colonial and professional identities -- .
