These infectious diseases reveal that medical care, widely considered a magnanimous cornerstone of the Canadian state, developed in lockstep with colonial control over Indigenous land and life. Pathogens are storytellers of their time. The 500 year-old debate over the origins of syphilis reflects colonial judgments of morality and sexuality that became formally entwined in medicine. Smallpox is notoriously linked with the project of land theft, as colonizers destroyed Indigenous land, economies and life in the name of disease eradication. And tuberculosis, considered the "Indian disease," aroused intense fear of contagion that launched separate systems of care for Indigenous peoples in a de facto medical apartheid, while white settlers retreated to sanatoria in the Laurentians and Georgian Bay to be cured from the disease. In this immersive and deeply reflective book, physician and activist Dr. Baijayanta Mukhopdhyay provides riveting insights into the biological and social relationships of disease and empire. Country of Poxes considers the future of health in Canada that heeds redress and healing for nations brutalised by the Canadian state."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x History. $z North America $x History. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x History. $z North America $x History. 651 0 $a North America $x Colonization. 651 0 $a North America $x Health aspects. $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $z North America $x History. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $x History. $z North America $x History. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x First contact with other peoples $z North America. 651 0 $a North America $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a North America $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z North America $x History. $x History. 650 2 $a Indians, North American. 650 2 $a Communicable Diseases. 650 7 $a Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a Colonization $x Health aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868485 650 7 $a Communicable diseases. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869883 650 7 $a Communicable diseases $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869920 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x First contact with other peoples. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02040334 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Government relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970236 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Health and hygiene. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970237 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242475 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Kitty, Darlene, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mukhopadhyay, Baijayanta. $t Country of poxes. $d Halifax ; Winnipeg : Fernwood Publishing, 2022 $z 9781773635750 $z 9781773635750 $w (OCoLC)1331329708 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024432.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48E231D20CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
