“…Historians have taken stock of the legacies of Portuguese rule in the areas of science, technology, and medicine. They have shown how particular colonial experiences might pattern the postcolonial development of clinical expertise—fostering cultural, intellectual, and technical relationships with their European contemporaries, variously understood in terms of collaboration (Gaitonde, 1983; Neill, 2012), competition (Habib & Raina, 1999; Peard, 1999), or dependence (Schwartzman, 1991; Stepan, 1976).…”

Portugal's empire brought together peoples and pathogens, along with wide‐ranging forms of medical expertise and curative practice, into multiethnic and polyglot colonial settlements around the globe. Many aspects of Portuguese imperial policy and much of the work of colonial institutions were fundamentally linked to the challenges of disease, population loss, and the preservation of health. Only in the last half‐century have these dynamics become an area of intensive archival research. The present essay surveys major developments in the history of medicine in Portugal's empire. It links historiographical shifts to the intellectual currents that accompanied colonialism, decolonization, postcolonialism, and the emergence of global health—identifying key interventions and noting significant opportunities for future research.

“…Sometimes even specific research fields such as 'colonial geography' or 'tropical agriculture' (referring to the fact that the vast majority of contemporary colonies lay in tropical zones) were created. However, it was tropical medicine that profited most from colonial science policy around 1900 (Bashford 2004;Neill 2012).…”

The Routledge Handbook of Transregional Studies brings together the various fields within which transregional phenomena are scientifically observed and analysed. This handbook presents the theoretical and methodological potential of such studies for the advancement of the conceptualization of global and area-bound developments.Following three decades of intense debate about globalization and transnationalism, it has become clear that border-crossing connections and interactions between societies are highly important, yet not all extend beyond the borders of nation-states or are of truly world-wide reach. The product of extensive international and interdisciplinary cooperation, this handbook is divided into ten sections that introduce the wide variety of topics within transregional studies, including Colonialism and Post-Colonial Studies, Spatial Formats, International Organizations, Religions and Religious Movements, and Transregional Studies and Narratives of Globalization. Recognizing that transregional studies asks about the space-making and space-formatting character of connections as well as the empirical status of such connections under the global condition, the volume reaches beyond the typical confines of area and regional studies to consider how areas are transcended and transformed more widely.Combining case studies with both theoretical and methodological considerations, The Routledge Handbook of Transregional Studies provides the first overview of the currently flourishing field of transregional studies and is the ideal volume for students and scholars of this diverse subject and its related fields.
