Using postmodern and postcolonial conceptions of the body and the power relations of colonization, Kelm shows how a pluralistic medical system evolved. She begins by exploring the ways in which Aboriginal bodies were materially affected by Canadian Indian policy, which placed restrictions on fishing and hunting, allocated inadequate reserves, forced children into unhealthy residential schools, and criminalized indigenous healing. She goes on to consider how humanitarianism and colonial medicine were used to pathologize Aboriginal bodies and institute a regime of doctors, hospitals, and field matrons, all working to encourage assimilation. Finally, Kelm reveals how Aboriginal people were able to resist and alter these forces in order to preserve their own cultural understanding of their bodies, disease, and medicine." "Kelm's cross-disciplinary approach results in an important and accessible book that will be of interest not only to academic historians and medical anthropologists but also to those concerned with Aboriginal health and healing today."--Jacket Indians of North America Colonization British Columbia Indians of North America Health and hygiene British Columbia Indians of North America Medical care British Columbia Social medicine British Columbia History 20th century Health Status British Columbia Indians, North American British Columbia American Native Continental Ancestry Group British Columbia Health Services, Indigenous British Columbia History History, 20th Century British Columbia Santé rero Hygiène rero Médecine sociale rero Soins médicaux rero Indiens d'Amérique rero 20e siècle (1re moitié) rero Indiens d'Amérique (RERO)A021005003 rero Santé publique (RERO)A021002702 rero Ethnomédecine (RERO)A021007010 rero 1900-1950 (RERO)B026032241 rero Colombie britannique (Canada) rero Colombie britannique (Canada) (RERO)A010066565 rero BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved vaud RERO RE61004 RE61004 RE610040016 MEG PF 7648 VAUD iuhm iuhm HMA 24304 DM 810820001 VAUD 100 1- Kelm Mary-Ellen 1964- aut RERO 100 1- Kelm Mary-Ellen 1964- (IDREF)085801127 aut
