Epidemics have played a critical role in shaping modern Asia.
Encompassing two centuries of Asian history, Robert Peckham
explores the profound impact that infectious disease has had on
societies across the region: from India to China and the Russian
Far East. The book tracks the links between biology, history, and
geopolitics, highlighting infectious disease's interdependencies
with empire, modernization, revolution, nationalism, migration, and
transnational patterns of trade. By examining the history of Asia
through the lens of epidemics, Peckham vividly illustrates how
society's material conditions are entangled with social and
political processes, offering an entirely fresh perspective on
Asia's transformation.
