From the 1850’s until the 1880’s, British Colonial administrators across the globe established wide-ranging legislation aimed principally at slowing the spread of venereal disease and the subsequent loss of soldier-power it brought about. Virtually every British colonial possession and interest was subject in the later half of the nineteenth century to Contagious Diseases (CD) ordinances and regulations that identified female prostitutes as the principal source of infection. Women working as prostitutes, particularly those serving British soldiers and sailors, were required to regi

Focusing the perspectives of gender scholarship on the study of empire produces an original volume full of fascinating new insights about the conduct of men as well as women.

This more inclusive look at empire asks not only why the empire was dominated by men, but how that domination affected the conduct of imperial politics. The fresh, new interpretations of the British

Eugenic thought and practice swept the world from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century in a remarkable transnational phenomenon.

A todas partes que mire, puede encontrar rastros de la  Internet. Productos domésticos, tarjetas de negocios, espectáculos de radio, y créditos de películas anuncian las direcciones de sus sitios en la Web (que empiezan con “www” y por lo general terminan con “punto com”) y sus direcciones de correo electrónico. La Internet es una nueva tecnología de comunicaciones que está afectando nuestras vidas en una escala tan significativa como el teléfono y la televisión. Algunas personas creen que cuando se trata de diseminar información, la Internet es la invención más significat
