Snelders provides a needed corrective to the historiography concerning how Western science began to see leprosy as a colonial problem. His monograph is one of very few that search for the racialized roots of leprosy discourse as far back as the eighteenth century. [] Snelderss longue duree study greatly expands historians understanding of leprosy in Suriname as a microcosm of colonialisms racial, social and administrative structures. Kristen Block, University of TennesseeKnoxville, Social History of Medicine, vol 33, no 3, August 2018 Snelderss ambitious book makes an important contribution and adds to our understanding of the history of medicine in the Caribbean and the wider colonial world.
