Review Quotes: "Leprosy and Empire traces the history of leprosy stigma between about 1770 and 1920, searching for a 'conflicted genealogy' of leprosy stigma across a broad span of European colonial encounters, from Hawaii to Australia, New Zealand and the Cape, and how these played out in Europe." - Harriet Deacon, H-SAfrica
