  Health and medicine in colonial environments is one of the newest areas in the history of medicine, but one in which the Caribbean is conspicuously absent. Covering the French, Hispanic, Dutch, and British Caribbean, this collection explores the cultural and social domains of medical experience and considers the dynamics and tensions of power.
