• W2330481111 abstract "Dissenters, whether in the political, professional, or religious meaning of the word, we learn from this fascinating book, have always played a significant part in shaping colonial medicine. By studying the long period from the Restoration to the 1830s, Mark Harrison gives full weight to the development of dissenters’ influence on medical innovation in the broader context of two of the dominant forces of this age: commerce and colonialism. The closeness of intellectual dissent to the reform not only of society and politics, but also of science and medicine, made medical practitioners a positive force for the understanding of Britain's commitment to improving the world and humanity. The global economy of the Empire was an attempt to integrate commerce into the process of the civilising mission. The majority of those who participated in this process came from the ‘celtic fringe’, mainly Scotland. Harrison elegantly links the socio-economic background of commercial interest with the intellectual aspirations of medical practitioners in the colonies by concentrating mainly on India and the West Indies. To a large extent, colonial medicine was more advanced than British medicine, which, by the late eighteenth century, began to profit from the empirical approach of the former. This close relationship between medical education and practice on the one hand and colonial ideas and expansionism on the other transformed British medicine in general. At a time when fears of exotic maladies and fevers were growing, members of the East India Company, army, navy, and colonial administration, were able to meet the increasing demand for practical experience of dealing with such diseases. Medical experts, as Harrison shows, gained significantly in status, and strengthened their academic, social, and political standing, by founding new, specialised fever hospitals and obtaining access to the prestigious colleges of medical learning at home. Above all, however, while subservient to the political and military needs of empire, medicine, like science and technology, was clearly a tool of economic imperialism. This shaped new ways of suppressing traditional scientific systems such as those which existed in India and the West Indies before the arrival of western colonialists. It also encouraged sociological and professional interactions between western medicine and the empire, so that medical services such as hospitals, the pharmaceutical system, and drug manufacturing profited substantially in economic terms. In short, the doctor readily made himself an agent of empire." @default.
