Considering cases from Europe to India, this collection brings together current critical research on the role played by racial issues in the production of medical knowledge over the past three centuries. Confronting such themes as colonialism and medicine, the origins of racial thinking and health and migration, the distinguished contributors examine the role played by medicine in the construction of racial categories.
