This book highlights the role of acute hunger in malaria lethality in colonial South Asia and investigates how this factor came to be lost in modern medical, epidemic, and historiographic thought with the reductive application of nutritional science and immunology.
Sheila Zurbrigg is a physician and independent scholar based in Toronto, Canada. Her health history research investigates rising life expectancy in South Asian history in relation to food security. She has served as Short-Term Epidemiologist for the World Health Organization, Smallpox Eradication Program, Uttar Pradesh, and Coordinator, Village Health Worker Program, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. She has held appointments as Adjunct Professor, International Development Studies, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; Visiting Scholar, York University, Toronto, Canada; and Visiting Scholar, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. Her work with traditional village midwives in rural Tamil Nadu (1975-1979) led to the analysis of child survival in contemporary India in relation to food security and conditions of women's work. In 1985, she turned to South Asian health history research, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Ottawa). Among her published work is the book Epidemic Malaria and Hunger in Colonial Punjab: 'Weakened by Want' (2019).
