Moran Format: Hardcover (No DJ) Subject: History of Medicine / Hawaii Condition: Very Good (See Notes) Case Study: Imperialism & Disease This is not just a medical history; it is a study of power. When the United States expanded into the Pacific, they encountered leprosy (Hansen's Disease). Michelle Moran's groundbreaking book explores how the U.S. government used the fear of contagion to justify the segregation and control of native populations. Focusing on the infamous colony at Kalaupapa, Hawaii, Moran argues that the "war on disease" was inextricably linked to the American colonial project. This is essential reading for students of public health, sociology, and American history. 📎 CONDITION REPORT: Very Good (VG) Note regarding format: This is a Hardcover copy, but it is missing the dust jacket. Binding: Tight and square. A solid reading copy. Pages: Clean and crisp text block. Markings: Please note there is underlining on 3 pages at the very beginning of the book. The remainder of the text is unmarked. Historical Context: The settlement at Kalaupapa on Molokai was established in 1866. While often associated with Father Damien, Moran's book focuses on the later era of U.S. bureaucratic control and the racial politics involved in "managing" the disease. (The "Underlining Joke" - Just Kidding) The previous owner underlined 3 pages and then apparently aced the class or gave up immediately. We'll never know. But their loss is your gain!
