Medicine and Empire provides an introduction to this shared history - spanning three centuries and covering British, French and Spanish imperial histories in Africa, Asia and America.Exploring the major developments in European medicine from the seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth century, Pratik Chakrabarti shows that the major developments in European medicine had a colonial counterpart and were closely intertwined with European activities overseas:- The increasing influence of natural history on medicine- The growth of European drug markets- The rise of surgeons in status- Ideas of race and racism- Advancements in sanitation and public health- The expansion of the modern quarantine system- The emergence of Germ theory and global vaccination campaignsDrawing on recent scholarship and primary texts, this book narrates a mutually constitutive history in which medicine was both a 'tool' and a product of imperialism, and provides an original, accessible insight into the deep historical roots of the problems that plague global health today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51681616396576,"sku":"NEW0230276369","price":39.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81EZhD10o_L.jpg?v=1779364409","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/medicine-and-empire-1600-1960-0230276369","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
