The Comforts of Home : Prostitution in Colonial Nairobi

"This history is . . . the first fully-fleshed story of African Nairobi in all of its complexity which foregrounds African experiences.

It enhances our understanding of African social history, political economy, and gender studies.

It is a book that deserves to be widely read."—Elizabeth Schmidt, American Historical Review
