Summary

An extract from the Introduction:

In August 1987, scholars gathered in Townsville to attend the first Australasian conference devoted to the history of medicine in the tropics. Held under the auspices of an Australia and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (ANZAAS) Congress on "Science in the Tropics", this section had a particularly innovative quality. Over fifty historians, medical administrators, anthropologists and practitioners of medicine with experience of practice in tropical areas confirmed their interest in an historical agenda few historians had hitherto recognised. This volume represents the early fruits of this rewarding collaboration.
