"A Walking Museum of Clinical Syphilis?": Gender, Sexuality, and Syphilis in the Eastern Bangwato Reserve, 1930s-1950s (2016)

unapi

The article examines how the ideas of morality, marital fidelity, and sexual continence in Eastern Bangwato Reserve, Botswana were undermined by African cultural accommodations of male entitlements and sexual relations from the 1930s to the 1950s. Topics include the role of African cultural notions and practices on the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, the indigenous cultural constructions of human sexuality, and prostitution.
