330 .. $a Pasteur's Empire shows how the scientific prestige of the Pasteur Institute came to
depend on its colonial laboratories, and how, conversely, the institutes themselves
became central to colonial politics. This book argues that decisions as small as the
isolation of a particular yeast or the choice of a laboratory animal could have tremendous
consequences on the lives of Vietnamese and African subjects, who became the consumers
of new vaccines or industrially fermented intoxicants. Simultaneously, global forces,
such as the rise of international standards and American competitors pushed Pastorians
to their imperial laboratories, where they could conduct studies that researchers
in France considered too difficult or controversial. Chapters follow not just Alexandre
Yersin's studies of the plague, Charles Nicolle's public health work in Tunisia, and
Jean Laigret's work on yellow fever in Dakar, but also the activities of Vietnamese
doctors, African students and politicians, Syrian traders, and Chinese warlords. It
argues that a specifically Pastorian understanding of microbiology shaped French colonial
politics across the world, allowing French officials to promise hygienic modernity
while actually committing to little development. In bringing together global history,
imperial history, and science and technology studies, Pasteur's Empire deftly integrates
micro and macro analyses into one connected narrative that sheds critical light on
a key era in the history of medicine
