This chapter considers the use of several different islands as leper colonies between 1850 and 1950. The first of these was on the island of Molokai in the Hawaiian group. Shipments of lepers were sent there from 1866 and a settlement of sorts was established at Kalawao on a low flat promontory cut off from the rest of the island by cliffs of more than 2,000 feet. The second island lazaret to be examined will be Robben Island off the coast of Cap…

Voyages and Beaches: Pacific Encounters, 1769-1840
What actually happened as Europeans and peoples of the Pacific discovered each other? How have their respective senses of the past influenced their understanding of the present?

Writing from, and between, a variety of disciplines (history, anthropology, Maori Studies, literar…
Leprosy and Empire: A Medical and Cultural History
Returning Fears: Tropical Disease and the Metropolis
This chapter emphasis on the complex and entangled geographies of so-called tropical diseases during the period under discussion in this book, on both the global and the metropolitan scales. The new science of tropical medicine is understood as a fraught project, seeking to protect European people and European space from the degenerative effects of tropicality, both within the tropics and within the temperate zone. Leprosy is treated here as the …
Without the Camp”: Leprosy and Nineteenth-Century Writing
F OUCAULT WAS PROBABLY RIGHT WHEN he argued in the first chapter of Madness and Civilization that the asylum replaced the lazar house at the end of the Middle Ages, but he exaggerated in claiming that leprosy had disappeared from the western world. The decline of leprosy in early modern Europe did not mean that fear of it vanished or that Europe lost all contact with the disease. From the sixteenth century it became involved in the debate about t…
Representing the South Pacific: Colonial Discourse from Cook to Gauguin
This book examines how the South Pacific was represented by explorers, missionaries, travellers, writers, and artists between 1767 and 1914 by drawing on history, literature, art history, and anthropology. Edmond engages with colonial texts and postcolonial theory, criticising both for their failure to acknowledge the historical specificity of colonial discourses and cultural encounters, and for continuing to see indigenous cultures in essentiall…
