Public Health in British India : Anglo-Indian Preventive Medicine 1859-1914 Hardback
by Mark Harrison
Part of the Cambridge Studies in the History of Medicine series
Hardback
Description
After years of neglect the last decade has witnessed a surge of interest in the medical history of India under colonial rule.
This is the first major study of public health in British India.
It covers many previously unresearched areas such as European attitudes towards India and its inhabitants, and the way in which these were reflected in medical literature and medical policy; the fate of public health at local level under Indian control; and the effects of quarantine on colonial trade and the pilgrimage to Mecca.
The book places medicine within the context of debates about the government of India, and relations between rulers and ruled.
In emphasising the active role of the indigenous population, and in its range of material, it differs significantly from most other work conducted in this subject area.
