Prostitution, race, and politics : policing venereal disease in the British Empire
2003
While most agree that Contagious Diseases (CD) ordinances were put in place primarily to protect the health of British soldiers, a closer examination reveals that the laws were not just about the control of VD but also 'a conscious instrument of colonial dominance'. Includes bibliographical references (pages 417-458) and index. ix, 480 pages ; 24 cm
