This is in part due to a series of little-known regulations that have aimed to protect the global north from epidemic threats for the last two centuries, starting with International Sanitary Conferences in 1851 and culminating in the present with the International Health Regulations, who organize epidemic responses through the World Health Organization. Unlike other equity-focused global health initiatives, their mission -- to establish "the maximum protections from infectious disease with the minimum effect on trade and traffic" -- has remained the same since their founding. Using this as his starting point, Alexandre White reveals the Western capitalist interests, racism, and xenophobia, and political power plays underpinning the regulatory efforts that came out of the project to manage the international spread of infectious disease. He examines how these regulations are formatted; how their framers conceive of epidemic spread; and the types of bodies and spaces it is suggested that these regulations map onto. Proposing a modified reinterpretation of Edward Said's concept of orientalism, White invites us to consider "epidemic orientalism" as a framework within which to explore the imperial and colonial roots of modern epidemic disease control"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g Conclusion. $t Pricing pandemics -- $t The International Sanitary Conventions at a colonial scale -- $t Epidemics under the WHO -- $t The battle to police disease -- $t Epidemics, power, and the global management of disease risk -- $t Pricing pandemics -- $g Conclusion. 650 0 $a Epidemics $x History. $x International cooperation $x History. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $x History. $x International cooperation $x History. 650 0 $a Imperialism $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Public health $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases. 650 2 $a Epidemics $x prevention & control $0 (DNLM)D058872Q000517 650 2 $a Communicable Diseases $0 (DNLM)D003141 650 2 $a Colonialism $x history $0 (DNLM)D018595Q000266 650 2 $a Racism $x history $0 (DNLM)D063505Q000266 650 2 $a Public Health $x history $0 (DNLM)D011634Q000266 650 7 $a Communicable diseases $x International cooperation $x International cooperation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869912 650 7 $a Imperialism $x Health aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968133 650 7 $a Public health $x Political aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082284 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a White, Alexandre I.
