8 reviews for Leprosy in Colonial South India Medicine and Confinement

  1. Preethika E –

    Excellent scholarship, but not for a casual reader. Buckingham delves deep into the social and political dimensions of leprosy. Prepare for a scholarly journey!

  2. Abhishek Anand –

    An eye-opening study, yet a bit academic. The author explores the intricate relationship between colonialism and healthcare. A thought-provoking read.

  3. Prasad Pandharinath Wagh –

    This book offered unique perspectives on the lives of people affected by leprosy. Sometimes, it felt too focused on policy and less on individual stories, which made it less emotionally resonant.

  4. Vridhhi Jaain –

    It’s a very informative work, however, the book could have been more concise. I felt lost in a sea of information and colonial medical jargon.

  5. Roshan J –

    A powerful examination of a neglected aspect of colonial history. Buckingham’s work is both informative and moving, a valuable contribution to the field.

  6. Name –

    Important historical context, but quite dense. It shed light on colonial medical practices regarding leprosy. I found some chapters more engaging than others.

  7. Vijaykaran Singh Rana –

    Fascinating and well-researched! Buckingham provides a compelling account of leprosy and its impact in colonial South India. Highly recommended for history buffs.

  8. Komal Kumari –

    A detailed look at a difficult topic. Buckingham’s research is thorough, but at times the writing felt a bit dry. Still a worthwhile read for those interested in medical history.
