Given the overwhelming white dominance in the written sources, it is a remarkable achievement."-Claire Robertson, International Journal of African Historical Studies "White's book . . . takes a unique approach to a largely unexplored aspect of African History. It enhances our understanding of African social history, political economy, and gender studies. It is a book that deserves to be widely read."-Elizabeth Schmidt, American Historical Review 606 $aProstitution$zKenya$zNairobi$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zKenya$xSocial conditions 606 $aWorking class women$zKenya$xSocial conditions 607 $aKenya$xColonial influence 607 $aKenya$xSocial conditions 610 $aprostitutes, sex, sexuality, escort, workers, working girl, trafficking, nairobi, colonial, colonialism, history, historical, academic, scholarly, research, textbook, social studies, africa, african, white, race, racism, dominance, politics, political, gender, college, university, higher ed, educational, professor, classroom, anthropology, culture, cultural, kenya, labor, reproduction. 615 0$aProstitution$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWorking class women$xSocial conditions. 676 $a306.74/2/0967625 700 $aWhite$b Luise$0674704 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777758303321 996 $aThe comforts of home$93863127 997 $aUNINA
