SYNOPSIS
Investigates how medicine, the craft of healing, also acts as a sort of hygiene - a disciplinary agent against the unruly forces of nature and culture. This book examines diseases such as leprosy and STDs, which have biomedical identities in Western settings but in Asia emerge as inseparable from certain colonial regimes.
