Social Aspects of Health, Medicine and Disease in the Colonial and Post-colonial Era

By Jane Buckingham

Inhuman conditions in distant European colonies where enslaved and indentured labourers were transported and new pathogens often resulted in disease and death. This book explores the encounter between introduced and local understanding of disease and the thera­peutic responses in the Caribbean, Indian and Pacific contexts.
