Description

Explore the complex history of public health in South Asia with Living with Epidemics in Colonial Bengal: 1818-1945. Published by Routledge, this academic work uses social, cultural, and linguistic anthropology to examine how health experiences and the distribution of illness shaped society during the colonial era. The book investigates the functions of disease prevention and the social relations of therapeutic intervention. It looks closely at how pluralistic medical systems were employed and how medical knowledge was socially constructed. Readers will gain insight into the politics of science and the shifting relationship between individual health and the economic needs of colonial formations. By focusing on major health crises such as smallpox, plague, cholera, and malaria, this text provides a deep look into the historical management of sickness. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of medicine, public health, and the social impacts of colonial rule in Bengal.
