Maladies of Empire. How Colonialism, Slavery, and War Transformed Medicine, Paperback/Jim Downs

Descriere & specificații

Standard histories of infectious disease celebrate brilliant minds such as Florence Nightingale, John Snow, and Robert Koch. In this unorthodox telling, Jim Downs focuses on a forgotten group of contributors: the conscript soldiers, colonial subjects, and enslaved people whose bodies were the experimental matter on which medical progress relied.
