- W1988211057 abstract "This slim volume explores the medical establishment of France and San Domingue, enslaved healers who inhabited the colony, and the coming of the Haitian Revolution. The author argues that enslaved healers, as important community leaders who embraced an ideology of resistance, changed history by rousing other enslaved inhabitants to rebellion against French rule. It begins with an overview of the colony, including its political and demographic development, and of the French medical establishment. The latter proved inadequate to the task of improving the health of the colony, which was known as a ‘place of disease and death’ for both blacks and whites (p. 18). Ineffective medical treatments, incompetence and corruption encouraged colonial inhabitants to seek care outside of established medical channels and opened the door for enslaved healers to treat both blacks and whites. On plantations, many of the enslaved healers worked within the system under the supervision of whites. The hospitaliére, usually older and female, worked under the direction of a plantation surgeon, manager or the planter, as caretaker of the plantation's hospital. Younger women, infirmiéres, assisted the hospitaliére by carrying out such duties as washing bed linen, bathing patients, and treating all too common chigger infections. Female midwives assisted in the delivery of babies, particularly in cases without complications, and became more important during the Seven Years' War when the military conflict cut off the supply of slaves from abroad and encouraged planters to value the reproductive capacity of female slaves. By the closing decades of the eighteenth century, however, male physicians were replacing or usurping their authority." @default.
