TB in Black and White: the contrasting mortality of dispossessed Aborigines and dislocated Europeans in Victoria, Australia, 1850-1950
Dispossessed Aboriginal people and dislocated Europeans who had failed to make a success of immigration were the most vulnerable to tuberculosis in colonial Victoria, but their experience of the scourge was different and an embodiment of their distinctive historical experience and social environments. This comparative study is the first in Australia to use cradle-to-grave datasets of Aboriginal people and impoverished Europeans to explore the impact of colonization on Indigenous population health.
