Product Description
The bubonic plague took over 50,000 lives in colonial Senegal between 1914 and 1945. The Africans tenaciously resisted coercive and punitive plague control measures. This text examines how colonizer and colonized changed their perceptions of the epidemic over time.

Review
a welcome addition to studies of disease and public health in colonial Africa. It is also highly readable, with a sophisticated mixture of narrative and analysis' - James F. Searing in Journal of African History
