Undesirable Practices: Women, Children, and the Politics of the Body in Northern Ghana, 1930–1972 - Expanding Frontiers: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality
Jessica Cammaert
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.
