  • Description: Why did 'microbe hunters' at the Pasteur Institute become the most important health experts in the French empire in the early twentieth century? 'Pasteur's Empire' illustrates how French microbiologists transformed life in the colonies in the name of humanitarian public health, which often had grave consequences for those living under French rule.
