Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies: Contagions of Feeling

Prasad, Srirupa

This book examines genealogies of contagion in between contagion as microbe and contagion as affect. It analyzes how and why hygiene became authoritative and succeeded in becoming a part of the broader social and cultural vocabulary within the colonialist, anti-colonial, as well as modernist discourses.
