Out of sight, out of mind, out of power: leprosy, race and colonization in Hawai’i. HERMAN, R. D. K. Journal of Historical Geography, 27(3):319–337, 2001. ![Out of sight, out of mind, out of power: leprosy, race and colonization in Hawai’i [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Leprosy policies in late nineteenth-century Hawai‘i reflect and embody the mobilization of racial discourses to disempower Hawaiians. These discourses began with early missionary assessments of the causes for disease and depopulation among Hawaiians, but became more focused as white commercial interests needed control of land and power for the booming plantation industry. The isolation of ‘lepers’ to Kalaupapa peninsula occurred at the same time that white business interests were steadily taking over the Hawaiian government, culminating in the overthrow of the Queen Lili‘uokalani in 1893. An analysis of historical materials concerning leprosy during this time reveals the intertwining of leprosy policies and colonization.
