Disease, Medicine and Empire (Routledge Library Editions: Health, Disease and Society) 1st Edition

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.

Disease, Medicine and Empire (Routledge Library Editions: Health, Disease and Society) 1st Edition is available at Books Hub Pk for home delivery and Cash on delivery all over Pakistan. All kind of medical books are available.
