Book Synopsis Race, Science and Medicine, 1700-1960 by : Waltraud Ernst
Book excerpt: Considering cases from Europe to India, this collection brings together current critical research into the role played by racial issues in the production of medical knowledge. Confronting such controversial themes as colonialism and medicine, the origins of racial thinking and health and migration, the distinguished contributors examine the role played by medicine in the construction of racial categories.
