Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the historical interplay between leprosy and colonialism in Suriname, the book delves into the impact of Dutch colonial power and racial conflicts on the stigmatization of individuals affected by the disease. It traces the evolution of societal attitudes from the plantation era through to modern colonial governance, highlighting how these attitudes are rooted in the legacy of slavery. By examining both colonial perspectives and the experiences of marginalized communities, it sheds light on the neglected Caribbean origins of contemporary approaches to leprosy management and understanding.
