Product Details

REE, Gerald Hugo 2015

This is a narrative of the management of leprosy in Queensland. Ree covers the discovery of leprosy and the policies and racism that followed. Throughout his work are accounts by patients who lived in the institutions and those who cared for them. While it is about Queensland, it is also a Top End/Kimberly story as the practices and attitudes were very similar.
