Prostitution and trafficking in the age of HIV/AIDS.Breaking new ground in the understanding of sexuality's complex relationship to colonialism, this book illuminates the attempts at regulating prostitution in colonial Nigeria. As Saheed Aderinto shows, British colonizers saw prostitution as an African form of sexual primitivity and a problem to be solved as part of imperialism's 'civilizing mission'. He details the Nigerian response to imported sexuality laws and the contradictory ways both African and British reformers advocated for prohibition or regulation of prostitution.SexPolitical aspectsNigeriaHistory20th centurySexSocial aspectsNigeriaHistory20th centuryProstitutionNigeriaHistory20th centuryChild prostitutionNigeriaHistory20th centuryProstitutionLaw and legislationNigeriaSexually transmitted diseasesNigeriaHistory20th centurySexually transmitted diseasesGreat BritainColoniesGreat BritainColoniesAfricaSocial policyNigeriaSocial policy20th centuryNigeriaPolitics and governmentTo 1960SexPolitical aspectsHistorySexSocial aspectsHistoryProstitutionHistoryChild prostitutionHistoryProstitutionLaw and legislationSexually transmitted diseasesHistorySexually transmitted diseasesColonies.306.740966909/04Aderinto Saheed1185687MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788085603321When sex threatened the state3783186UNINA
