Robert Peckham is Associate Professor in History and Co-Director of the Centre for the Humanities and Medicine at The University of Hong Kong. His recent books include Imperial Contagions: Medicine, Hygiene, and Cultures of Planning in Asia (co-editor, 2013) and Empires of Panic: Epidemics and Colonial Anxieties (editor, 2015).
Epidemics have played a critical role in shaping modern Asia. Encompassing two centuries of Asian history, Robert Peckham explores the profound impact that infectious disease has had on societies across the region: from India to China and the Russian Far East. The book tracks the links between biology, history, and geopolitics, highlighting infectious disease's interdependencies with empire, modernization, revolution, nationalism, migration, and transnational patterns of trade. By examining the history of Asia through the lens of epidemics, Peckham vividly illustrates how society's material conditions are entangled with social and political processes, offering an entirely fresh perspective on Asia's transformation.

第一本正式读完的医学史作品,值得思考的一个是“各种现象/概念到底是什么”,一个是“历史过程到底是怎么样展开的”。
评分尝试用mobility cities environment war globalization这几个关键词串起epidemics的历史,文献是很全的,观点也可以,最难忘的可能还是state-making被看成a form of "internal colonialism"这种提法,好像也挺有道理,我现在理解的权力确实是被打散的,external和internal也没多大差别。

评分更像是一本教材。分别讨论mobility, cities, the environment, war, globalization这五个与传染病有关的主题,然后每章介绍三四个个案研究。书中还有不少小贴士类型的问题讨论和名词解析。。
