?:abstract
  • A remarkable feature of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the outpouring of voluntary action, community support and mutual aid across the world Yet, even as these modern epidemics were marked by heightened fears of foreigners, sharpened social divisions, and racialised policies of border control and quarantine, they could also be sources of solidarity, bringing together working classes, ethnic minorities, colonial subjects and others against state, medical or colonial authorities On the one hand, it is suggested that reactions could stem from the particular etiological, clinical or epidemiological characteristics of a disease;on the other hand, they could stem from particular meanings signified by a disease, the types of people associated with it, the preventive measures employed or the authorities tasked with their implementation
