The Comforts of Home: Prostitution in Colonial Nairobi

The Comforts of Home: Prostitution in Colonial Nairobi

"This history is . . . the first fully-fleshed story of African Nairobi in all of its complexity which foregrounds African experiences. Given the overwhelming white dominance in the written sources, it is a remarkable achievement."â€”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."â€”Elizabeth Schmidt, American Historical Review
