Description

Explore the complex history of public health and colonial control in Routledge's Prostitution, Race and Politics: Policing Venereal Disease in the British Empire. This scholarly work examines how prostitutes across the British Empire faced the weight of contagious disease ordinances passed by the British government. Author Philippa Levine analyzes the enforcement of these laws across four colonial sites from the 1860s through the end of the First World War. The text investigates how myths and prejudices regarding the sexual practices of colonized peoples influenced legal operations and provided justifications for colonial administration. This book offers a deep look at the intersection of health policy, race, and political power during a transformative era in imperial history.
