Book Data Full Description：: This volume brings together a series of studies on the social history of venereal disease in modern Europe and its former colonies. An examination of social attitudes to sexuality, class, gender, generation and race.
This volume brings together a series of studies on the social history of venereal disease in modern Europe and its former colonies. It explores, from a comparative perspective, the responses of legal, medical and political authorities to the "Great Scourge". In particular, how such responses reflected and shaped social attitudes towards sexuality and social relationships of class, gender, generation and race.
Topics covered includein late-19th and early-20th century Europe using case studies of France, Sweden and the Netherlands; the impact of VD on wartime and interwar social hygiene initiatives; the balance between moral and medical imperatives in public health initiatives, in Germany, Italy, Russia and the UK; the social history of VD within the colonial context - including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Uganda; the interaction of metropolitan and colonial ideologies, and the interface between race, gender and disease; the relationship between VD and social change since the Second World War; the social construction of disease and promiscuity in post-war Europe; and the debate surrounding VD within the "permissive" society, and after. The book should be an invaluable resource for researchers in a number of disciplines, including history, the history of medicine, social policy, welfare, gender and sexuality, politics and cultural studies.
