- Greenwood’s research on African medical history underpins this volume and its aim to offer a new view of the way in which the colonial medical service operated in British Africa. Greenwood developed the research framework and focus on the untidy reality of on-the-ground practices. She commissioned chapters from international scholars and had intellectual oversight of these. She wrote three of the eight chapters, comprising more than a third of the book (29,077 words). Her two original content chapters are based on analysis of rarely used primary source material from the National Archive, British Library and Rhodes House archive, UK. These British sources were then cross referenced with new source material discovered at The Kenyan National Archives and Zanzibar National Archives. Greenwood also wrote an introduction exploring the theoretical advances that this book aims to provide.
