Product Description

The book addresses the issue of disease diffusion across the geographical span of India during the colonial period. Based on archival records, it analyses colonial economic policies and their implications for the spread of the disease across different regions of India as well as the role of the military in disease spread. It adds a new dimension to the understanding of the spread of TB in colonial India.

The book also discussed the concept of the meaning of illness for different cohorts of TB patients. Based on narratives, it brings to readers the social and cultural dimensions that are responsible for the prevalence of the disease despite having vaccination and medication available for more than half a century.
The book will be beneficial to health and medical geographers and bring new insights in historical geography as well as the history of medicine by incorporating policy changes and its implication in disease spread. Sociologist and public health professional will find narratives of patients interesting and useful for furthering their understanding.
