Total copies: 1
'Antiblackness and Global Health' offers a major new account of the 2014-2016 West African Ebola crisis and a radical perspective on the racial politics of global health. Lioba Hirsch traces the legacies of colonialism across the landscape of global health in Sierra Leone, showing how this history underpinned the international response to Ebola. The book moves from the material and atmospheric traces of colonialism and enslavement in Freetown, to the forms of knowledge presented in colonial archives and in contemporary expert accounts, to disease control and care practices.
