Mois de juin de l'an 1348 : une épidémie monstrueuse s'abat sur le Dorset et décime peu à peu les habitants. Nobles et serfs meurent par milliers dans d'atroces souffrances. Quand la pestilence frappe Develish, Lady Anne a l'audace de nommer un esclave comme régisseur. Ensemble, ils décident de mettre le domaine en quarantaine pour le protéger. Bientôt, les stocks de vivres s'amenuisent et des tensions montent car l'isolement s'éternise. Les villageois craignent pour leur sécurité lorsqu'un événement terrible menace le fragile équilibre. Les gens de Develish sont en vie, mais pour combien de temps encore ? Et que découvriront-ils quand le temps sera venu pour eux de passer les douves ? Quand la grande dame du roman noir anglo-saxon s'attaque à la saga historique, elle nous offre le plus captivant et haletant des page-turners.

This chapter investigates the setting up of a network of lazarettos along the southern and eastern littorals of the Mediterranean during the nineteenth century. The fundamental thesis is that these lazarettos, constructed and frequently directed by Europeans, sustained the expansion of Western colonialism in the region. Starting with an investigation of the workings of the first Sanitary Councils - in North Africa and Ottoman-ruled ports - which preceded the International Sanitary Conferences, the study then goes on to show how maritime quarantine catered for the European powers' commercial, shipping and imperial interests in the region. By examining the regulations and the actual practices of disinfection adopted in these lazarettos, this chapter also shows how these institutions constructed and/or consolidated stereotypes of the 'Muslim Arab' as a 'threatening contagious body.'.

This chapter investigates the use of quarantine as an instrument of social control and as dispositive for the construction and stigmatization of the Muslim 'other'. The study takes the under-researched case of the Hajj to Mecca from the Balkans, hence focusing on Muslims from Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina (the latter under Austrian-Hungarian rule as from 1878). Both Bosnian and Bulgarian Muslim pilgrims experienced quarantine on their return from Mecca, yet in unequal measures. Bosnian hajjis were given a more lenient quarantine than their Bulgarian co-religionists by their separate sanitary authorities - with regard to the duration of isolation and the disinfection of their bodies and personal belongings. This was due to the different political and cultural attitudes towards their Muslim minorities by these two Balkan regimes.
