 ARTIFACT #6: Leprosy in Reflection: Art, Image and Medical History

(visual art and image) and READ (textual
documents) throughout the resources.

definitions, medical insights, emotional
insights, historical context and personal
reflections you have about the disease, the
politics of the disease and the history of
treatment.

of leprosy and its impact on families, politics,
medicine and individuals.

the following question: How does this disease
impact both an individual and a community?
What are the ethical implications of treating
an infectious disease with isolation?
● After viewing both the text and the images
what do you predict will be the author's
OVERALL MESSAGE behind the novel? What
historical context from your research (and
read the background of the book on the
back cover!) help you to make that
prediction?

VISUAL AND TEXTUAL NOTES: IMPACTS ON INDIVIDUAL:

● Europeans began recording leprosy in Hawaii
early in the nineteenth century.
● Over the course of more than a century, more
than 8,000 victims of Hansen’s disease lived
and died here.
● Leprosy policies in late 19th-century Hawai‘i
reflect and embody the mobilization of racial
discourses to disempower Hawaiians.
● Isolation can lead to a person losing the right
over their own body and their treatment.
Furthermore, the banishment separates the
individual from their family and forces them to
leave behind their home and go somewhere
where they will have less or no access to
anything they need. This could also affect the
individual’s mental health.
 ● It can affect the nerves, skin, eyes, and lining
of the nose (nasal mucosa).
IMPACTS ON COMMUNITY:
● A lot of people were being taken from the
community so there must have been
separated families, displaced families, and
jobs that lost their employees.

PREDICTION OF THE NOVEL'S OVERALL MESSAGE

● Based on the findings, I believe it will give an
insight about how a disease can attack a
community through the lense of the author.

What was your biggest personal takeaway about HAWAII AND LEPROSY from this
virtual gallery walk activity?
When talking about Hawaii I think the biggest personal takeaway is that Hawaii has gone through a lot first with
Mark Zuckerberg buying land from Hawaii saying that he was going to preserve Hawaiian land and at the same
time they give a point in where they say that he is “colonizing” Hawaii. As well Leprosy had a huge impact in the
community since if leprosy was not treated it would lead to progressive physical, psychological and social
disabilities and dehabilitation. Their rights were and in some way continue to be interfered by others.
