Course Description
This course traces the evolution of medicine and health in the Caribbean, exploring the broad question "how have different groups which settled in the Caribbean region shaped Caribbean medicine and health?" It examines the interaction of indigenous, African, European and Asian medical practices and policies, and the relationships which developed among these in Caribbean societies. Building on the interdisciplinary nature of the history of medicine, the course evaluates the emergence of medicine and medical science in the Caribbean as spaces of conquest and contest in which power, race, ethnicity and gender collide to influence the development of medicine and health care provision in the region.
