内容説明・目次

内容説明

This text describes the ways that European powers used science and scientific inquiry to enforce their supposed cultural superiority on societies of Africa, Asia and Latin America. The book shows the uses of scientific theory as well as the role of applied science technology in colonial and post-colonial societies dominated by British, French, Portuguese, Spanish and American culture over the past three centuries. This collection pays particular attention to the way science, medicine and public health policies affect racial, sexual, national and international relations between and within societies.
