“Crossing colonial boundaries: health and the responses of ‘colonial mediators’ to the crisis of the 1930s in the French and British Caribbean” in Canadian journal of Latin American and Caribbean studies, 38 (2)
This paper explores the responses of two Caribbean men, the Jamaican Harold Moody and the French Guyanese Félix Eboué, to the economic and political crisis in the Caribbean in the 1930s, focusing on their views about health and colonial medical systems. It examines some of the international and Caribbean experiences that shaped their views and careers.
