The administration of sicknessmedicine and ethics in nineteenth-century Algeria /[electronic resource] :William Gallois. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - vi, 262 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 234-255) and index.

On the idea of medical imperialism -- On humanitarian desire -- On extermination -- On attendance to suffering and demographic collapse -- On the just and sovereign testimony of Abdel Kader BenZahra -- On injustice and the disavowal of autonomy.

This book asks how ethics can help us to understand the encounter between French colonists and Algerians in the Nineteenth century. It focuses on questions of medicine since the claimed goodness of the French b1 scivilising mission b2 s depended on the idea that the health of theAlgerian people would be improved under imperial rule. In looking at the manner in which such moral claims were constructed and the way in which they operated in practice, Gallois offers one of the first comparative histories of medicine and ethics. The book argues that while the French failure to b1 smedicalise b2 s Algerian society is well understood, histories of health also need to consider ways in whichpolicies of massacre and extermination were conceived as being morally good, and how the diminutionof the Algerian population was countenanced at momentsof famine and epidemic disease. It also offers the first accounts of Algerian doctors working in colonial medicine, looking at the manner in which they developed an ethics of resistance to empire.
