Through a rich account of tuberculosis in Singapore from the
mid-nineteenth century to the present day, this book charts the
relationship between disease, society and the state, outlining the
struggles of colonial and post-colonial governments to cope with
widespread disease and to establish effective public health
programmes and institutions. Beginning in the nineteenth century
when British colonial administrators viewed tuberculosis as a
racial problem linked to the poverty, housing and insanitary habits
of the Chinese working class, the book goes on to examine the
ambitious medical and urban improvement initiatives of the
returning British colonial government after the Second World War.
It then considers the continuation and growth of these schemes in
the post-colonial period and explores the most recent developments
which include combating the resurgence of TB and the rise of
antimicrobial resistance.
