While literature on medicine and colonialism has increased rapidly
in the past nearly two decades, this volume presents yet another
way of looking at ideas of medicine, health, and disease. It
portrays the role played by power in various ways in which
biomedicine became a site of contested ventures-a site which saw an
interplay of medicine, ruling ideologies, and resistance by
indigenous populations. Ideas of disease and health range from
control of infectious diseases and epidemics, medications and
indigenous therapeutics, clinical medicine and surgery, to
reproductive health, with the added dimension of medical pluralism
and elites as enabling these interactions and processes. This book
will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of
history, sociology, anthropology, medicine, and public health. With
essays on different regions around the world, it will serve as a
guide to scholars and students in colonial studies, history of
medicine, and world history.
