Book Review

摘要

Historians have long been fascinated by enslavement and its impact on identity formation, race relations and structures of control within the Atlantic world. Examining the familiar theme, explores how ‘blackness’ was manipulated, objectified and criminalised within the sphere of medicine to propagate racist ideas and cement white hegemony within and outside of the medical profession. Though not a new area of scholarship, it does offer a refreshing perspective from a scholar whose first book establishes her as a new force in the area of Atlantic medical history.
