Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the
colonial administrations in British East-Central African colonies
considered inter-racial sexual liaisons to be a serious and
recurrent "problem". Consequently, inter-racial sexual liaisons
(concubinage and marriage) and the mixed race progeny that resulted
from these liaisons led to protracted discussions and enactment of
policies which addressed questions about concubinage, marriage,
racial identity, sexual morality, and the status of persons of
mixed race in British East-Central Africa. Using archival sources
and secondary literature, the author highlights how colonial
inter-racial intimate encounters became intertwined with
conceptions of 'race' and what it meant to be European, African
("native") and racially mixed. Intended for students and scholars
interested in the study of 'race' and sexuality in colonial Africa,
the book will provide an understanding of why inter-racial liaisons
despite of rigid racial barriers were not easy to legislate
against.
