The Administration of Sickness: Medicine and Ethics in Nineteenth-Century Algeria (2008)Hardcover - 2008, 24 September 2008

This book is the first comprehensive study of French medicine in nineteenth-century Algeria. It argues that the medicalization was a priority for colonial regimes, but this goal was thwarted by ineffectual French medicine, institutional rivalries, and the manner in which medicine became a focus for the resistance of French domination and rule.
