Présentation de l'éditeur :
This work will be of considerable interest to scholars studying not just Burma but also neighbouring countries, notably Thailand, Indonesia, Malaya and India, as it contains valuable material on historical demography, epidemiology, public health and public administration in colonial times. Also general readers interested in the history of disease and its treatment, or the experiences of local populations under colonial regimes in Asia, will find the book highly informative. The book examines population trends in Burma during the 19th and 20th centuries, looking in particular at public health and the epidemiology of disease, and also presents a wide-ranging social history of modern Burma, relating the history of particular diseases to cultural beliefs and practices, as well as population movements, developments in agriculture and irrigation, nutritional trends, and the deployment of government servants and military personnel. The study uncovers much new information about Burma that will be of considerable interest to a wide range of scholars. But what will be especially striking to all readers is the account of the indifference of the British to the health needs of their Burmese subjects, not least the refusal to implement the simplest of measures to reduce the appalling death toll.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Disease and Demography in Colonial Burma is an examination of the factors that shaped demographic change in Burma between 1852 and 1941. Despite increasing contemporary interest in the historical demography of the non-European world, there has been little detailed exploration of Burmas extensive but problematic population records. Judith Richell developed a demographic framework for Burma by analysing late nineteenth century and early 20th century census data, and used this information to analyse population change within the country. Colonial Burma experienced relatively high rates of mortality, and Richell related this phenomenon to nutrition, the development of sanitary and health services, the impact of migration from India, and agricultural change. She also assessed infant, child and adult mortality, the incidence of endemic diseases such as beri beri and malaria, and outbreaks of plague and cholera as well as the influenza pandemic of 1918. The data the author collected and her discussion of these topics provide an exceptionally valuable resource for scholars interested in Burma, demography and public health in Southeast Asia. This study examines population trends in Burma during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, looking in particular at public health and the epidemiology of disease. In developing this material, the author also presents a wide-ranging social history of modern Burma, relating the history of particular diseases to cultural beliefs and practices, as well as population movements, developments in agriculture and irrigation, nutritional trends, and the deployment of government servants and military personnel.
