Originally published in 1988, the essays in this book focus
primarily on colonial medicine in the British Empire but
comparative material on the experience of France and Germany is
also included. The authors show how medicine served as an
instrument of empire, as well as constituting an imperializing
cultural force in itself, reflecting in different contexts, the
objectives of European expansion - whether to conquer, to occupy or
to settle. With chapters from a distinguished array of social and
medical historians, colonial medicine is examined in its topical,
regional and professional diversity. Ranging from tropical to
temperate regions, from 18th Century colonial America to 20th
Century South Africa, this book is an important contribution to our
understanding of the influence of European medicine on imperial
history.
