The Social History Of Health And Medicine In Colonial India

Biswamoy Pati (Author) Mark Harrison (Author)

Synopsis The volume explores a unique set of themes that capture the diversities of India, such as public health, medical institutions, mental illness and the politics and economics of colonialism. It will be of interest to scholars of history, especially the history of medicine and the history of colonialism and imperialism, sociology, social anthropology, cultural theory, and South Asian Studies, as well as to health workers and NGOs.

The book is a must for students of the history of South Asia, and not just its medical history, since it has a lot about colonial rule in practice.
