Beskrivelse

Examines both the intended and the unintended consequences of “imperial feminism” and British colonial interventions in “undesirable” cultural practices in northern Ghana. Jessica Cammaert addresses the state management of social practices such as female circumcision, prostitution, and “illicit” adoption, as well as the hesitation to impose punishments for the slave dealing of females.
