Although Mary-Ellen Kelm begins this book by promising to explain how bodies are fashioned by colonial forces, what she delivers is an informative, if inconsistent, survey of documents dealing with disease and health care in what is now British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province. Kelm is to be praised for interpreting Canada as a minor imperial power undertaking a colonizing mission within its own borders. Her book, however, is an example rather than a critique of colonial discourse. |
