Medicine and colonial engagements in India and Sub-Saharan Africa

This volume examines the various modalities of imperial engagements with the colonised peoples in the former British colonies of India and in sub-Saharan Africa.

Articulated through race, gender and medicine, these modalities also became colonial sites of desire addressing colonial anxieties ensuing from concerted engagements.

Focusing on colonial India, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, this volume brings together essays from eminent scholars to examine the dynamics of colonial engagements and their implications in understanding their role in the dominant discourses of the empire.
