Mari K. Webel prioritizes local histories of populations in the Great Lakes region to put the successes and failures of a widely used colonial public health intervention-the sleeping sickness camp-into dialogue with African strategies to mitigate illness and death in the past. Webel draws case studies from colonial Burundi, Tanzania, and Uganda to frame her arguments within a zone of vigorous mobility and exchange in eastern Africa, where African states engaged with the Belgian, British, and German empires. Situating sleeping sickness control within African intellectual worlds and political dynamics, The Politics of Disease Control connects responses to sleeping sickness with experiences of historical epidemics such as plague, cholera, and smallpox, demonstrating important continuities before and after colonial incursion. African strategies to mitigate disease, Webel shows, fundamentally shaped colonial disease prevention programs in a crucial moment of political and social change"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African trypanosomiasis $z Africa, Eastern $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African trypanosomiasis $z Africa, Eastern $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Public health $x History $z Africa, Eastern $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Public health $x History $z Africa, Eastern $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Imperialism. 651 0 $a Epidemics $z Africa, Eastern $x History. 650 7 $a MEDICAL / Public Health. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African trypanosomiasis $x Epidemiology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799911 650 7 $a Imperialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968126 650 7 $a Public health $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082284 650 2 $a Trypanosomiasis, African $x epidemiology. 650 2 $a Trypanosomiasis, African $x history. 650 2 $a History, 19th Century. 650 2 $a History, 20th Century. 651 2 $a Africa, Eastern. 651 7 $a Eastern Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01696894 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a New African histories series 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402013410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E22C1D874A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
