Leprosy and Empire: A Medical and Cultural History - Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories
Edmond, Rod (University of Kent, Canterbury)
An interdisciplinary study of why a disease that is so difficult to catch has caused such alarm. It examines how the fear of leprosy was part of nineteenth-century imperial expansion, as colonial officials and missionaries were thought exposed to the risk of infection, which might be carried back to Britain.
