Dealing with Leprosy in the Dutch East Indies, 1816-1942

---

Leo Van Bergen


The traditional method of colonial regimes in dealing with leprosy sufferers in their subject populations was to shut them off from society in designated enclaves while offering little in the way of healing. In the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia, the authorities adopted a similar policy for a while, but, even though few resources were devoted to care, they were prepared to experiment with varying policies, including traditional healing, as described here.  New Paperback. First edition. 291 pages. For further details, please see the scanned contents page.
