Description

This open access book explores how evangelical medical missionaries shaped modern understandings of hygiene, purity and health through their work in West Africa during the age of High Imperialism. Tracing the interactions of six Basel Mission doctors who practised on the Gold Coast and in Cameroon from 1885 to 1914, the study reveals how religious purity, scientific health and colonial cleanliness converged in the making of hygiene. By examining the encounters and negotiations between missionaries and local populations, the author demonstrates the entangled history of medical knowledge production during this formative period. The book provides crucial insights into how evangelical medical missions abroad influenced both colonial practice and European understanding of health and hygiene.
