Healing the African Body: British Medicine in West Africa, 1800–1860
John Rankin
Explores the troubled intertwining of religion, medicine, empire, and race relations in the early nineteenth century. John Rankin analyses the British use of medicine in West Africa as a tool to usher in a “softer” form of imperialism, considers how British colonial officials, missionaries, and doctors regarded Africans, and explores the impact of race classification on colonial constructs.
