Product Description
Book Description
From the 1850's until the 1880's, British Colonial administrators established wide-ranging legislation aimed at slowing the spread of venereal disease and the loss of soldier-power it brought about. The legislation, known as the Contagious Diseases (CD) ordinances and regulations, identified female prostitutes as the principal source of infection and required them to register officially and undergo regular examinations designed to detect venereal disease. While most agree that the 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".
