Description

Product Description Focusing on India and South Africa during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the essays in this collection address power and enforced modernity as applied to medicine. Clashes between traditional methods of healing and the practices brought in by colonizers are explored across both territories. Review 'Anyone interested in the mechanics of medical colonialism and its persistent impacts, meanings and interactions, will benefit from these fascinating and diverse new contributions which are deeply researched and lucidly presented.' Allan M Brandt, Harvard University 'the book performs the important task of bringing together a number of interesting research projects, and will be of interest to researchers and teachers not only in the field of medical history, but also imperialism and law, colonial knowledge formation and trans-national connections.'
