Epidemic Encounters, Communities, and Practices in the Colonial World Ebook (miebook.shop)

Epidemic Encounters, Communities, and Practices in the Colonial WorldThe essays in this volume examine the nature and extent of disease on indigenous communities and local populations located within the vast regions of the Indian and Pacific Oceans as a result of colonial sea power and colonial conquest. While this established a long-term impact of disease on populations, the essays also offer insights into the dynamics of these populations in resisting colonial intrusions and introduction of disease to newly-acquired territories.
